Photographic volume: "Mind Map of Love" is a project by the German businessman Christian Zott and photographer Mauro Fiorese from Verona. During his hike through Southern Europe, from its most westerly point in Portugal to the Eastern border on the Bosporus, Christian Zott developed the concept of a mind map providing the structure to outline the many different forms of love. His travel photos – primarily spontaneous snapshots capturing a specific moment in time – provide a striking contrast to the complex photographic compositions by Mauro Fiorese. The visual concept of the project draws its narrative continuation from the novel by Christian Zott. Novel: In twenty-one chapters Christian Zott describes the various stages of a universal love story. At the end of many of the individual episodes – written in the form of captivating short stories – there are turning points at which the reader can determine the future of the two main characters. This has created an original novel taking the form of a multifaceted kaleidoscope of love in eleven different variations.
