Wehrmacht soldaten in Hongarije 1940 - 1943

This photo of Wehrmacht soldiers in Hungary was created by an anonymous artist using black and white photography. It's a fascinating piece because it’s a collection of smaller photographs arranged on a page, each a little window into a moment. The grey tones create a somber, almost ghostly atmosphere. Look at the texture of the page itself, the way the photographs are mounted, the jagged edges of each print. The artist is thinking about the relationship between individual images and the album as a whole. Each photograph invites us to consider the details of the composition, and the wider historical narrative of WWII. Think of artists like Gerhard Richter, who used photography as source material, or someone like Christian Boltanski, who explored memory and loss through found photographs. "Wehrmacht soldaten in Hongarije" invites us to reflect on the way images shape our understanding of history, memory and the act of remembrance.
