About the Book
This book explores the malleability of memory and the forgotten impact of key historical events, with a particular focus on the GDR’s dictatorship. Using personal diaries, old school slides, negatives, and once-secret documents, the author delves into the language, propaganda, and militarisation that shaped her life. By transforming these artefacts into sculptural photography, she disrupts their original narratives, examining themes of nostalgia, indoctrination, and suppression. Visual projects like Weißer Regen, Friedenskinder, and Pavlov’s Children reflect on the regime's oppressive nature and the generational loss of memory, warning of the dangers of historical amnesia.
