Building Images. The Reconstruction of the Neues Museum
Zürich: intercom Verlag 2021, 128 Seiten, ISBN 978-3-952-495438
This book presents, for the first time, a photographic record of the reconstruction of the Neues Museum. These photographs show how images not only document the architectural and restorative handling of cultural memory, but also help to shape it. This book takes a media cultural studies perspective to explore what images of building processes show, how they affect the construction itself, and what we can learn from them.
