RECONSTRUCTION
Intro | the first photos | Exhibition  | Recommondation

From March 20, 1941 untill March 14, 1943 70.000 Jews lived in a Ghetto in the neighborhood of Podgroze in Krakow. In Januany 2005 I shoot 469 photos from this former Ghetto with the aim to reconstruct the former Ghettowall. About which the historian Lucy Dawidowicz said the following things: "The Krakow ghetto was enclosed within walls in the form of Jewish tombstones, symbols of a terrifyingly literal character."

I made each five steps a photo, counter clockwise with my back against the imaginary wall, from the Ghetto. At the next pages you can walk with me along the Ghettowall with 25 steps a page. 

I made the photos with a Nikon Coolpix 885 camera and I didn't edit except the size (resolution and inches) anything. The photo on the website correspondents with the photos in my photobox "Reconstruction".

Furthermore, four of the five photos have the same size as my Nikon lcd display (1,7 inch). So that people who watch my photos can have exactly the same experience as I had when I shoot those photos.
