When Covid hit, artist Sibylle Peters went from being ‘the first female pimp of St. Pauli’s Red Light District’ and hugging sixty people a day, into isolation. This is when you need a good love story. As she couldn’t find any, she wrote one herself.
LADA is delighted to announce the publication of Sibylle's A Good Love Story on Valentine's Day 2021. Marking the occasion we have invited Sibylle to be our Guest Editor for the month of February.
Sibylle has written this text which grapples with the autobiographical "I" and considers how other artists and writers have worked with that "I".
