SONDERBAUTEN: THE SPECIAL BLOCK
All photographs were created at the site of the rape brothel at Dachau, using salvaged 120mm film cameras manufactured by Dachau slave labor at the Agfa camera factory in Munich.
The colors, textures, shapes and multiple layers within the photographs are all created using only the unique aberrations of the cameras’ optics, and the chemistry of the film. There is no software or computer manipulation in the images.
Photographs exhibited in solo museum exhibitions at Berlin Jewish Museum, Jewish Museum Munich, and Yeshiva University Museum/NYC.
