August Sander/ Menschen des 20. Jahrhunderts

image by
August Sander

Hauptmann der Reserve. Elsaß-Lothringen, ca 1916
Captain of the reserves




Lots of uniforms
on August Sanders photographs.

I like,
that this officer
has two arms,

but looks like
someone,
who has lost one.

I like
the surroundings,
ordinary,
artless.

White spots eating
themselves through the picture.

Utterly
undignified,
this setting.
