The series focuses on the mindset of the second generations of Germans after World War 2. It explores the horror, incomprehension and feeling of shame and innocent guild experienced by young people reflecting this history of war and dictatorship. The pictures display the disconnection these people sense from their deceased ancestors, represented by war memorials, old houses and bridges not passed. Absorbed in thought they struggle with what once was. Thoughts are withdrawn from society, can not be seen and photographed directly. Composing the pictures with out of focus portraits still allows to reflect this mood, and partial details act like fragmentary notions. The pictures are recorded in black and white to refer to the past, using small format, highly sensitive film. The film’s grain adds a rough texture, representing the discomfort and erosion felt.
