When we discuss Alexander Kluge’s authorship, we never discuss a single subject position but rather a collective practice based on collaboration. This plural authorship exceeds the actual collaboration with contemporary artists and theorists by far. Based on the conviction that the past is never dead, Kluge’s concept creates imaginative collectives in which Ovid, Müller, Montaigne, Benjamin, Godard among others, collaborate in changing constellations across time boundaries. “It is an illusion that I write literature all by myself. I write it in company, though most of the people are dead.” However, the title of this present yearbook also addresses a future horizon, namely the incalculable numerous prospective adaptions of Kluge’s works, which work similar to a message in a bottle – “to whom it may concern” and wait for their stories to be read.
