An interactive archive, a text-based platform with the content of 600 ads from men seeking friendship with other men. All advertisements come from German magazines published between 1919 and 2000. The ads were selected by me for various reasons and concern general topics such as language, history, social issues, everyday life, sexuality, cultural references, religion, racism, age difference and more Personal interests also played a major role in my curating. Topics such as humor, poetry, anonymity, self-loathing, loneliness, being closeted, special preferences, etc. are close to my heart and were the connection and ambition for this project.
