Beschreibung
The book is about memory, the passage of time, about pain and loss-but also about the human capacity to continue living one’s life despite it all.
On 6 April 2009 at 3:32 a.m., a devastating earthquake shook the Italian city of L’Aquila and its surrounding region. One of the hardest-hit places was the village of Onna, located on the outskirts. Of its 300 residents, 40 lost their lives that night. Only a field of rubble remained. During the Second World War, the village had already suffered a tragic fate: on 11 June 1944, retreating soldiers of the German Wehrmacht committed a massacre and destroyed nearly a third of all buildings.
Göran Gnaudschun portrayed the village and its people – children, adolescents, and the elderly. In several years of research, he combines his own images with excerpts from interviews, historical and scientific documents as well as very personal family snapshots of those affected on site. They form a separate layer above the pictures.
Göran Gnaudschun, *1971 in Potsdam; lives and works in Potsdam, Germany.
