Forgotten Doctrine ( 2025)
https://www.blurb.co.uk/b/12511915-forgotten-doctrine
This installation centres on 28 gold textile chevrons from the National People’s Army (NVA), each mounted on a black wooden stalk inserted into a spent rifle shell casing. Beneath each chevron sits a matching military badge, forming a regimented formation. The 28 sculptures are arranged in two shadow boxes (44 cm high x 80 cm long × 24 cm wide ). Behind them, chalkboards list the names of 140 people who died at the Berlin Wall. Spotlights partially obscure the writing—suggesting the tension between remembrance and erasure, order and loss.
Seven black-and-white photographs, arranged across four panels (40 × 40 cm each), draw from insignia used in youth organisations like the Pioneers, FDJ, and GST. These symbols shaped identity through obedience and belonging.
