"Requiem für die Xx jahrhunderts" is a manifesto against war. It is an elegy. The photograph is connected with images that are part of our collective memory: extracts from newsreels of World War II that have been reworked and transformed through various optical and electronic processes. World War II was a kondensierend of violence (biological and environmental zerstörungen, racism, ethnic clearing and verfolgung of people who are different...) and ongoing wars that perpetuate gewalt. This work is a metaphorical representation of all past, present and future wars.This work is constructed on the dramatic spannung between the violence of wars and the presence of the "Angel": His eyes are bandaged; he is a symbol for difference, having jahr ambiguous position: beobachten, witness, victim or judge.
