Abstract

The further World War II retreats itself into the history books, the more abstract it becomes for us. There are only a few eyewitnesses who can vividly describe their terrible experiences. Nowadays, people have often got used to horror and bad news. The facts, whether they are terrible news or horrific sums of money that are "thrown around", we can often only understand in an abstract way, but not assign them emotionally. That is exactly my concern in this book - that people begin to perceive issues in a less abstract way. This means for World War II that pain and suffering should remain comprehensible even in their dimension of destruction and dehumanization. For this reason, the word is confronted here with artistic expression, so that dialogues arise that allow access in another wise than purely rational.

Abstract

"A hike from the mouth of the Rhine, the Dutch North Sea, through Germany, France, Austria up to the Swiss Alps to the source of the Rhine, Lake Toma. Nowadays it can sometimes be difficult to discover the beauty of the Rhine. There's tourism and noise. You have to hike a little further away or just go very close to the shore to be able to leave everything disturbing aside. But then they appear again, the beauty and the stillness. Because they are still here - you just have to see them. The book documents a wide variety of places on the Rhine at certain times of the day over the course of a year. 41 situations along the river are recorded. It's the realistic colours that make the atmosphere appear. This is what it looked like here - in this moment, in this place, at this time of year. At first you sometimes only see layered colours, but then, suddenly, the space opens up and the place becomes visible in its time." -- Artists website.
