Erinnern-Identität-Vergessen

Artist's Book
1987 (published)
Artist/Maker
Place of origin

This collaboration between three Swiss-German artists, consists of 97 loose leaves of photocopied artwork, illustrated on one side, and for the most part arranged in random order.

They include a sequence of tinted reproductions of photographs of Fritz Vogel, dating from 1987 back to 1957, the year of his birth. There is one photograph for each year, annotated with captions in German and the name of the photographer.

Other photocopied illustrations are enhanced by a riot of abstract decorative designs, sketches, randomly applied shapes, and rubber stamps.

The leaves are housed in a box made of toughened cardboard, the edges and spine painted black, the front cover bearing a monochrome photograph of a skinhead screaming, the back cover bearing two further photographs (including an 'Identität des Vergessen' passport stamp).

NAL copy is no. 13 in an edition of 30 copies.
