He no longer deploys the techniques of pure documentation, but brings together surprising combinations of images to express a generation's dystopian sense of life shortly before the fall of the Wall. Schmidt evokes a world of ruptures and absences that eschews a confident, comprehensive point of view. The images work with Schleef's text to create a brusque, entirely individual perspective on the fragility of human existence. The first edition, published in 1987 by the Berlin-based Dirk Nishen Verlag quickly sold out and continues to fetch high prices on the antiquarian book market. Thirty years later, 'Waffenruhe' is now being reprinted. 600 10 $a Schmidt, Michael, $d 1945-2014. 650 0 $a Photography, Artistic. 651 0 $a Berlin (Germany) $v Pictorial works. 600 17 $a Schmidt, Michael, $d 1945-2014. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00038395 650 7 $a Photography, Artistic. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01061964 700 1 $a Schleef, Einar, $d 1944-2001, $e author. 700 1 $a Weski, Thomas, $e writer of supplementary textual content. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20190212023557.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A68A619AE96D11E8978F920F97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
