The postcard set A heavy, heavy duty – where the cotton lies is now available

Cotton only became common in Europe in the 11th century. Until the 17th century, initiated by the descriptions of Europeans who had traveled far, ideas about the Lamb of Tartary (or Barometz), a hybrid creature between animal and plant that produced cotton, circulated. These ideas are possibly an attempt to imagine cotton stemming from animals – just as wool. The postcards in the 12-part postcard set are composed of a science fiction landscape on the decaying bodies of two “cotton lambs” and are provided with visualizations of the fantastic narrative of A heavy, heavy duty, a collaborative work by Stefanie Knobel and Angela Wittwer. The postcard can be ordered here.
