Ghosts / Jens Windolf


Ghosts is a search of the ambiguity of places of authority. These first photographs were taken in the former Ministry of State Security (MfS) remand prison of the GDR in Berlin-Hohenschönhausen, Germany. Today the place is a memorial place. In spite of the historical rootedness and the occurrence of an obviously ordinary furnishings there is a kind of unnameable persistence where from the title derived.

While this is a work in progess the intention and background of the project will change.

before reading the text I thought myself that it must be DDR, it has different fragrance then those kind of relicts ie in Poland. Those places are vanishing - good for people, worse for photography :) great works
