Whether he shows us a concentration camp, a former intelligence headquarter, the interior of bunkers or the site of a former mine, the work of Andreas Magdanz seems to be mostly devoted to investigate what a place can hide or show of its past. Vision is deceptive, and memories often try to build themselves through expectations: what do we really do when we try to remember or imagine the past through our eyes? That is what perhaps Magdanz keeps asking through his exploration of one place after the other, theatres of secrets he maybe wants to expose.
