The tremendous loses and devastation of the Second World War, created a
need for markers, visual and spatial representative acknowledgements of the
losses sustained. This exhibition represents one of these markers.
Through our captioned photo montages of the war, here exhibited, we aspire
to draw you close, into another world… Outside of ours... Help you to imagine
things that most would prefer not to imagine, or even consider imagining. To
meditate on the unthinkable - so systematically and intentionally thought out.
