This limited edition of numbered and signed books presents a suite of 77 small-format watercolors in sepia and black and white. It’s a stream of images based on photographs from an Internet archive, all of which were taken the former rural East Prussia – in the carefree years before the outbreak of the Second World War and during the dramatic expulsion of the population that unfolded after the defeat of Nazi Germany . An essay by Heinz Stahlhut complements this album that bears witness to the shattering and transience of private idylls under the influence of war and political events.
