TITLE: Anno 1945

This photograph belongs to a larger series of images under the title of "Dr. Heisenberg, me and the meaning of life". A number of decades back, I became interested in the wider and allegorical ways in which Dr. Heisenberg's uncertainly principle can be adapted and applied to aspects fo human life. The larger series covers two separate volumes: portraits representing the dimension of time and black&white street images representing the dimension of place.
