E 9 (from the series "Eingebrannte Bilder"). 1997. Gelatin silver print. 40 x 30,3 cm. Signed and dated by the photographer in pencil on the verso.

Since the 1990s, Ernst Volland has focused on the artistic reinterpretation of historical photographs and iconic images from contemporary history. His series "Eingebrannte Bilder" (Branded Images), developed over several years and exhibited at the German Historical Museum in Berlin, transforms familiar photographs embedded in Germany’s collective memory. By deliberately blurring and distorting these images, Volland challenges viewers to confront their visual assumptions, turning once recognizable scenes into enigmatic visual puzzles. – Diagonal crease in upper left corner, small crease in left edge, otherwise in good condition.
