100 DM

The texts, images and videos of the editors, accumulated over several years, were viewed and reinterpreted by Lupo Burtscher. The result is a handy, small-format reading book with 206 pages in A5, published by Silvana Editoriale in Milan. It focuses on the human experience of the historical events surrounding the fall of the Wall and the profound transformation that took place with the disappearance of the GDR. The visual narration in the book takes place on the same level as biographical, anecdotal memories. Text and image alternate, remain fragmentary, empty spaces consciously demand a pause, reinforce statements. The cover recognisably quotes the colours and structure of a 100 DM note that is otherwise empty of its contents.
