Hunting In Time

Ronit Porat

2023

The book Hunting in Time is based on an exhibition
trilogy by artist Ronit Porat, displayed in different venues
between 2016 and 2018. This body of work revisits a
murder that took place in Berlin in January 1931, and
made headlines throughout the Weimar Republic: Fritz
Ulbrich, a local watchmaker, was murdered in his shop
by a sixteen-year-old named Lieschen Neumann, her
boyfriend, and another youth. The murder investigation
and trial revealed that during the decade preceding
the murder Ulbrich had turned the backroom office of
his workshop into a pornographic photography studio,
where he photographed hundreds of young girls, among
them Neumann.
