TODTNAUBERG
Not things. Their echo.
My grandfather was a Nazi. I have three portraits of him, smoking a cigar. He is the Meister aus Deutschland — the master from Germany — the figure Paul Celan conjured in Todesfuge: the one who plays with serpents, who commands, who gives orders with precision and grace.
Something is wrong, but nothing has happened yet. Unheimlichkeit photographs that suspension — a present already marked by its own end, familiar and irreparably strange.
The land remembers. Not as archive, not as monument — but as texture, as light, as the slow persistence of what has no voice. Resonances is an act of listening.
