"Across the planet we are living in a prison," wrote the British writer, painter, and art critic John Berger (1926-2017) in 2011 in his essay Fellow Prisoners. In it, he describes humankind not only as a prisoner of itself, but also its imprisonment in a globalised society.
For the book project Geografie der Freiheit (Geography of Freedom) in 2019, Josef Felix Müller invited selected authors and artists to respond to Berger's radical essay. This resulted in philosophical, scientific and artistic contributions that explore the question of what forms of freedom exist and what they mean for us as humans.
