Starting this week, our series "Summer Guests." Artists from all over the world are on a visit to Germany - for a whole summer. Projects, ideas and impressions galore. And we get to meet them! We begin up north: on the wind-tossed island of Sylt, we catch up with artist Paul Emmanuel. Born in Zambia, raised in Johannesburg, South Africa. Emmanuel is waging a literal war with the island elements. His installation "The Lost Man," a memorial to men at arms, is so fragile that it won’t outlast the Sylt storms for long. Still, the artist is having his fun: donning a fishing cap, he’s enjoying herring sandwiches and taking in the wild and romantic island landscape on long bike tours.
