Unheimlich vertraut. The uncanny familiar. Bilden vom Terror. Images of terror

Media images of terrorist acts ingrain themselves in the collective memory with a pungency against which we seem almost powerless. This volume looks at artists who have manipulated the manipulators and interrogated the media’s representations of terrorism. Included here is the Spanish collective G.R.A.M., whose 2001 series Nach Motiven von reconstructs scenes from famous press photos.
