It was a place of inhumanity. Of course you can read an infinite amount about it - but when you are there it is different.
My visit took place on a glorious autumn day. It was surreal. The contrast couldn't have been stronger. On the one hand the golden autumn sun and the fleecy clouds - on the other hand barbed wire, blown gas chambers, barracks and tracks on which countless people drove to their deaths. A shameful feeling of emptiness. Like a vacuum feeling.
I want to reflect this surreal state of place and feeling in my pictures. I am aware that this could be difficult terrain. But the official side welcomes the fact that pictures are also used to refer to this gruesome section of our history.
In commemoration of the victims.
