Journey following the Relics of the Third Reich
The Nazi Phantom was first published as an artist book as part of my Photography studies in Bezalel, Academy of art and design in Israel. The book describes the first phantom journey I have conducted in Germany during 2009. During the journey I have visited 30 sites throughout Germany that bare testimony to the events of 1933-1945 and have unique symbolic meaning. I have interviewed 30 German opinion leaders on the subjects of memory culture - 7 of which are included in the book. The book include a photography catalogug. Video was done by Eran Yuval. The artist book was designed by Michal Sahar. In 2014 the book was published by Resling Press, Tel Aviv.
