Quadriptych Murdered Print

This series is about Jewish women photographed by Hitler's personal photographer Hugo Jaeger before being killed. I was so shocked when I saw a documentary about the works of this and other German photographers, documenting the people which they were about to exterminate! As a German, I always felt horrified by our recent history and I need to read and watch historical documentaries. Why a quadriptych? Well, I always liked the medieval formats of triptychs, etc. used in modern contexts, for example, by painters like Otto Dix and Francis Bacon. I use them a lot as well, especially when I want to work on a smaller series. I usually use greater formats for portraits (in this series, each canvas is 60cm x 50cm), mostly 100cm x 100cm. But in this one, I wanted to use a more intimate format. This topic of Nazi victims is a really difficult task for me, it deeply touches and haunts me. And, of course, I needed to get this work done well. Every day I watched these four women, I studied her faces, I saw them smiling; of course, they did not know what was going to come... I know that I aim very high, when I want these unknown women not to be forgotten, but I hope, I did it right. A kind of homage, a kind of asking for forgiveness. And, of course, I did not want to represent them as victims, but as persons with all the dignity they deserve, more brides than victims. The next thing is to find the right home for them. Maybe some place fighting against anti-Semitism. A friend sent me a list of Holocaust memorials and museums. I do not know. The first thing was to create a powerful monument for them.
