The work February 13/14, 1945 deals with the collective visual memory and its medial change. The point of departure are newspaper pictures of the commemoration ceremonies on the occasion of the bombing of the city of Dresden in the night from 13 to 14 February 1945, which were published in the Sächsische Zeitung between 1950 and 2009. The work reflects on different levels the history of the mass medium newspaper on the one hand, and on the other hand it deals with photography as a testimony and document of historical events. In doing so, it analyses the visual language, which has changed over time, also with regard to the rupture between GDR and FRG.
