Über das Buch
www.schittny.de
In December 2010 Burkhard Schittny (born 1966) began a multi-part series of documentary and conceptual works about the battlefields in which his father had served, and about his mother’s expulsion from Silesia as a consequence of World War II. Driven by his interest in people’s psychological background and the fear and trauma of war, Schittny set out on a long journey to create photographic after-images. Combined under the title ‘Legacy Of Fear - The War Within Me’, it is a journey into the history of his own family, into the history of World War II, into the traumas of uncertainty and powerlessness.
ALTE HEIMAT. NEUE HEIMAT.
Photo series in the form of video stills about the artist‘s mother as a refugee in a cattle wagon during her expulsion from Silesia to West Germany. Presented as an installation on 173 contact sheets.
