More DescriptionThe water-color-works, photographies and videos of artist Martin Dammann have their origin in pictures and films of WWI and WWII. Found in private archives as the Archive of Modern Conflict, these transformed (inofficial) war documents shed new light on the essential questions of their individual point of making and their effect of remembrance as well as the general documentary function of war photography. Dammann is not interested in the picture per se, but focuses on the background of the shooting.This art book offers a marvellous overview on Dammann's oeuvre - in full color and with additional texts of Hans-Jörg Clement, Barbara Steiner und Martin Prinzhorn.Martin Dammann, born in in Friedrichshafen/Lake of Konstanz in 1965, studies at the "Hochschule für Künste" in Bremen and Berlin.
