With a contribution by ARNO VAN ROOSMALEN on the work of Romanian artist 
CALIN DAN, we would like to present the final Camera Austria contribution to 
the documenta 12 Magazine project for discussion in this issue. His 
photographs and video works - that are often based on a performative 
approach, and that he sums up with the concept »emotional architecture« - 
combine very personal moments in his relationship to Bucharest and Romania, 
to the variously open folkloristic tradition of his country, to historical 
events, that he links with an analysis of the existing (power) architecture.

In an interview with TIMM RAUTERT, author WOLFGANG BRÜCKLE focuses on the series of photos »Deutsche in Uniform« (Germans in uniform) and other fields 
of the artist's work. RAUTERT's work revolves around his inquiring view of 
the areas of social life and production that are driven out of the public 
eye. In his documentary and conceptual photography, RAUTERT is concerned 
with working out a specific habitual aspect, attitudes and obediences to 
authority, the individual who could hide in his uniform and disappear in the 
masses. The aspect to what extent something specifically German appears in 
an intensified form in the uniform also occupied the artist in this work.

In this series of photos »Helmbrechts walk, 1998 - 2003« SUSAN SILAS 
documents sections of the route of a death march of 580 Jewish women, going 
from Helmbrechts in Bavaria to then Czechoslovakia, shortly after the end of 
the War in spring 1945. Fifty-three years after this event, SILAS re-walked 
these women's path. Author BRETT ASHLEY KAPLAN is showing that the pictures in SILAS' »Helmbrechts walk« uncover the frequent veiling of violence in the traditional representation of landscape, that they thus question the 
potential of landscape as a scene of amnesia and, at the same time, are 
capable of liberating landscape tradition from its aesthetic fouling by 
Fascist ideology.

CHRISTINE WÜRMELL's work combines various quotations from the field of 
contemporary art history and the field of current everyday culture, society 
and politics to create a compact tableau of narratives with which the artist 
constructs new situations and opens up surprising spaces for thought. KIRSTY 
BELL took the multi-part installation, »Who's Afraid of Magenta, Yellow and 
Blue?« as a starting point for her introduction to the work of this 
Berlin-based artist.

In the four-part column beginning in this issue, our author RAINER 
BELLENBAUM deals with the variable dispositifs of the cinema and exhibition 
space and the associated artistic, dramatic and narrative practices.
