Ludwig and the Rhinoceros 

NordSüd , 2023

“ There’s a rhinoceros in my room ! ” claims Ludwig. His father doesn’t think so. There CANNOT be a rhinoceros in Ludwig’s room, it’s much too small for a rhinoceros. But Ludwig shows his father that something can be there even if you can’t see it. A humorous bedtime story for budding philosophers.

 

Written by Noemi Schneider and illustrated by Golden Cosmos. German published by NordSüd Verlag, English will be published October 2023 by NorthSouth Books.

 

“ It simply cannot be proven that there is NOT a rhinoceros in the room. ” Ludwig Wittgenstein

About

Golden Cosmos is the working name of Berlin-​based duo Doris Freigofas and Daniel Dolz.

„The exuberant duo captures the simple, pleasurable details of daily life. But then there are also elements of the extraordinary in their images — spaceships, the Brothers Grimm, buttoned-​up detectives, and devils — adventurous and occasionally sinister narratives like something from a German folk story made modern.

Their drawings walk the line between a daydream and the everyday. Distinctly European and quite at home with the other colorful, flattened perspectives showcased by Nobrow Press, Golden Cosmos’ work will be familiar to readers of The New York Times, The New Yorker, and Die Zeit. They have such a specific aesthetic, so it’s fascinating to know that their drawings emerge from two minds and four hands instead of the single pen of one illustrator.

They’ve worked together intensely ever since they met during their art foundation year in their hometown of Dresden, and their styles have folded into one another so seamlessly that it’s impossible to tell whether an illustration was drawn by Freigofas, Dolz, or a combination of both.“
