\u2192 The Sea Remembers – Visual Journeys to Landscapes Recalled
\n<\/a><\/h2>\n

Introduction by Prof. Klaus Honnef held during the exhibition opening on April 4, 2018

The theme of Rosemarie Zens\u2019 moving commemorative work, which is both aesthetically intellectually highly reflective, is her mother\u2019s escape from Pomerania before the arrival of the Russians, and her trek with her six-month-old baby, the photographer herself.

Rosemarie Zens took on a considerable task when she set out to walk through the streets of Seoul with her camera. Of the world\u2019s ravagedcities \u2013 and there is certainly no lack of them in Asia \u2013 Seoul has been affected the most visibly. The fire storm of the Korean War swept across the city three times…<\/p>\n
