VIE 10 (from the series "Eingebrannte Bilder"). 1997. Gelatin silver print. 30,4 x 40,4 cm. Signed, titled and dated by the photographer in pencil on the verso.

Since the 1990s, Ernst Volland has reinterpreted historical photographs and iconic images of contemporary history in his series "Eingebrannte Bilder" (Branded Images). By enlarging and blurring familiar images, he transforms them into visual puzzles that invite viewers to consider how photographs become embedded in collective memory. Works from the series have been exhibited at the Deutsches Historisches Museum in Berlin.
