1870/71 Photographs of a forgotten War

Synopsis

In the months of the war of 1870/71 and in the weeks of the Paris Commune photographers documented the scenes of the war with their plate cameras. This documentation accompanies the art historian Paul Mellenthin on his journey to the authentic places. It is the very special approach, a concentrated look at unknown photographs, which opens up new insights as well as the relevant question of the representability of war.
