Falschrum Books

Falschrum Books is a not-for-profit publisher, operating at the intersection of art, literature, and research. Fostering collaborations between artists and authors of different social and linguistic backgrounds, Falschrum works to find points of connection between textual, visual, and tactile modes of communication as they come together in the book object. Founded in 2019 in Berlin, Falschrum has grown into a publishing collective that concerns itself with migration, displacement, borders, transitions, movement, loss, arrival, and new beginnings. We make bi-lingual publications, books you can read from left to right, and from right to left. Books you feel invited into, even if you cannot read half the text. This, too, is a kind of movement; this too is a way that something becomes at once accessible and transformed from its former language, its former life. Falschrum, therefore, is a publisher dedicated to setting-upside-down as a way of putting things right.
