Von Meerjungfrauen und Verschwörungstheorien

Amidst a mermaid show, Hamburger illustrator Wiebke Bolduan tells the story of "Viktoria Aal", delving into authorship, self-acceptance, and interpersonal relationships. Her characters are rich with depth and wit, and the poignant dialogues ultimately raise the question: How can one accept oneself with all their flaws? With a mix of sensitivity, dry humor, and a candid gaze, Ika Sperling achieves an intimate narrative in "Der große Reset" (nominated for the Max und Moritz Award 2024). Set against a backdrop of societal conflict, the story uncovers familial relationships and emotions, reflecting the grand in the mundane.
