Scope and Contents
The book is designed to resemble a photograph album with black pages and a single large photograph collaged onto each page. It is a memorial to the Dachau concentration camp in a rather sterlle way.. The writing of the "Dachau Museum" and the writing of the "Dachau Camp" are now intermingled and "their simple presence is the proof of their innocence." This piece is dscribed in Gerz's Catalogue Raisonne Volume II, pages 38-39, a book held by the Sackner Archive. It is designated No.783 in Volume III. The Sackner copy is from the 1st edition; the 2nd edition was reprinted in 300 copies in 1996. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
