Your Reise durch den Überbau can be interpreted as a very personal treasure map. What are your top 3 destinations on the map?

It’s not so much a treasure map as an expedition map through my life. From birth on the far left outside to when I finished the map on the top right. A shipping route with historical events and a life route with biographical events dance around each other. I as a traveler move in the context of contemporary history, sometimes involved, often shaken, sometimes bored, but always with the awareness to undertake the greatest of all possible journeys. There are no particular destinations, the way is the goal.
