Ewald Palmetshofer

If the past century was defined by a race towards totality, we are still racing, a-politically and privately, from one product to the next, until only one thing remains to be consumed: our fellow human beings. Man is not a wolf to other men; he is a product, a total commodity to others. One must be able to take him in, this fellow man, before he is spoiled by the others, one should be able to eat him before he becomes rotten and begins to stink. We are hungry enough. (Ewald Palmetshofer)

"Ewald Palmetshofer is a completely individual artist of language, one who shakes not only the sky and the earth, but also logos and logistics, in order to deal with the everyday. Of course, he also concerns himself with life and death." (Christine Dössel, on the conclusion of the jury in awarding the dramatist prize of the cultural circle of the German economy 2008)
