Trouble in Paradise: Tales about the pursuit of perfection in an imperfect world

In the three conceptual chapters of this book, Christoph presents his impressions of our post modern society, dominated by the paradox of the self. The individual striving for perfection in an imperfect world.Christoph is staging situations, not without humor, in which he shows the subject engaging in ambitious endeavors which often result in unscheduled and sometimes irritating outcomes. The fine architectural set-ups of these images serve to lull the viewer into a sense of wellbeing whilst the conflict within the frame creates tension and discord. Christoph manages to capture this kind of emotional tension in his work while maintaining a sense of lightheartedness and ease. This juxtaposition is what makes him such a great visual storyteller.
