This publication presents the artistic interweaving of present-day social and political concerns with those of the Weimar Republic, as viewed from the historical distance of a hundred years. The parallels are numerous – and often unsettling. From dissatisfaction with the political system and economic crises to the persecution of dissenting voices in the 1920s, Ruprecht von Kaufmann (b. 1974) draws striking visual conclusions that resonate with the profound upheavals of our own time, inviting reflection and critical engagement.
