Press Release
The artist Annette Kelm photographed the covers of those books that were banned and publicly burned in 1933 for her series Die Bücher. The photographs shown at the Projektbüro DFI e.V. form a counternarrative to the images created by the perpetrators.
When the National Socialists carried out the first book burnings in the spring of 1933, the individual titles remained largely invisible within this propagandistic staging. In Kelm’s series, they not only become visible again, they also unfold a new visual intensity through her presentation.
