THE LIFE AND DEATH OF MAISON HEFNER Monty Richthofen @monty.unlimited 480 pages ISBN 9783910265271 For over a decade, Monty Richthofen’s tattoo practice Maison Hefner evolved through sketchy handwriting and broken poetry In 2024, the project ended its online presence by deleting its Instagram account with 110,000 followers—a deliberate artistic act marking the completion of the work within social media. The Life and Death of Maison Hefner begins from this point of closure. The book transforms a digital stream into a physical archive, shifting the work from algorithmic circulation into a lasting, controlled form. Archiving becomes not only preservation, but authorship: a reclaiming of narrative and context flattened by the speed of the feed. Gathering tattoos, texts, and collaborations with artists, writers, poets, and musicians, the publication embraces imperfection and fragmentation. It invites slow, non-linear reading and opens the work beyond singular authorship into a shared artistic field. Alongside the book, tattooing remains a parallel archive—physical, intimate, and irreversible. In contrast to the disembodied digital image, it persists on bodies, aging over time and resisting reproduction. The title frames Maison Hefner as persona, myth, and projection, separated from the individual behind it. Its “death” signals not disappearance, but transformation: a refusal of perpetual visibility and a move toward autonomy. What remains is the work itself, re-situated within a broader conversation about digital legacy, authorship, and control. #YOLO #DAFUK @wer.ist.aggu @auto.christ @__francesca__romana @dj.fuckoff @maurice_funken @bibliothekswohnung @mariahunstig @juliet_kothe @_linalouisa_ @locololo @lykkeli @lindur_lindur @malte.lin.k @slimgirl_fat @_georginapope @gabrielproedl @jovana.reisinger @rejjiesnow @juliastellmann @theresamariaweise

Sorry Vienna includes an obituary for Mörtel Lugner as well as one for the good old days, accompanies a drinking tour with fraternity members, a detour to a travel agency, and a trip at the public pool. Traces of the past meet the monsters of the present. After Sorry Siracusa, Sorry Vienna marks the second stop of the nomadic Sorry Press Writers Residency. Over time, a library of literary travel guides emerges.
