The work Image reconstructions (from the Erich Glas archive: Kibbutz Yagur 1934 – 1956) deals, on the basis of the photographic archive by the israeli/german artist Erich Glas, with subjects like the representation of history, identity and memory using the example of the Kibbutz Yagur in Israel. In form of rearranging the photographic material image constellations were developed, on subjects like life and work in a community. The tableaus, that are set up by one or more images, putting them into a new framework, that analyses the narrative potential of the visual.
