TAKE ME HOME (2026)
There’s an old Jewish joke that giraffe meat would be kosher, if only we knew where to cut the neck.
Austrian-British multidisciplinary artist Hugo Max explores the internment of his great-grandfather as an ‘enemy alien’ on the Isle of Man during the Second World War.
This book showcases a triptych of narrative films and accompanying projects – documentaries, exhibitions, paintings, writings and collaborations developed during Max’s research.
Inspired by the creative spirit of the refugee community who were detained in requisitioned hotels on the Isle of Man, these projects consider the intersection of fact and fiction in family memory and celebrate creativity as a source of cross-cultural communication.

Kosher Giraffe Trilogy (2024)
Charting the eight-year journey bringing Dissonance from script to screen, The Dissonance Book draws together notebook extracts, screenplay drafts, paintings, personal correspondences and on set photography that went into making the film.
The publication concludes with documentation of the film’s premiere at the Holywell Music Room featuring performances by members of The Soutine Quartet and a group exhibition by artists from The Ruskin School of Art.
From the introduction:
When I think of the film I become lost in memories that are now concealed in the dark reserve of the final cut. This book unmoors the film from this edit by revealing our experiences making Dissonance. I am thrilled to welcome you into the rehearsal studio to share intimate memories that I hope will further return the film to the realm of chamber music-making.
