A house in the middle of nowhere, that thinks, and plays games. An estranged family whose bonds reach much deeper into time and reality than they know. A creepy child. And many, many secrets buried deep under the floor.

What is this project all about?
No fear.
I just want to show you.
Didn´t we stand right now in the corridor of a simple, yet abandoned looking residential building?
The candle throws a weak cirle of light under its own spilled wax body. Below, on the heavily dusted wooden floor, sits a house.
This is how the novel by Feline Lang, multimedia artist and head of Berlin act
“Feline&Strange” "feline and strange", begins. With music, of course.
In 2020, Feline produced the EP
“The Doll´s House” together with British act birdeatsbaby and US act Sit Kitty Sit, and decided, just like that, to write a novel based on her concept.
She created a psychological - psychiatrical? - doll´s house that lives and plays games with its inhabitants. A lace from many interwoven layers of time and reality, which are connected in mysterious ways.
What is the project goal and who is the project for?
The German version will be published on Edition Outbird, a small and fine indie publisher, in 2023.
But the novel is so full of imagery, of layers, of hints and connotations, that this does not feel enough. We want a multigenre work of art, just like the mini musical we created from the EP.
And you, you have been asking for a hardcover too, being used to Feline´s paper artwork accompanying her records.
So we decided to make one - but only if you REALLY want it!
We don´t want to produce unwanted paper from dead trees. We don´t want to lose lots of money for all artists involved. So if you want images and hard cover -
- preorder here!
Why would you support this project?
A Doll´s House needs toys. And so we asked not one but several artists close to us to join this project:
Franca Bartholomäi (woodcut, Halle)
Holger Much (painting, Albstadt)
benSwerk (drawing, Berlin)
Maria Salouvardou (sculpture, Berlin)
Merlin J. Noack (photography, Berlin)
and for the typography standing level with text and artwork, Benjamin Schmidt (Berlin).
All this art would´nt fit into a soft cover, right?
Help us print the REAL thing!
Take my hand and come. You won´t leave the house ever again.
How will we use the money if the project is successfully funded?
What happens anyway
- Softcover in 2 volumes with one cover image
Our first funding goal:
- Softcover in 3 volumes with illustrations and epilogue: alternative endings, the full history of the project, and a fold-up doll´s house.
