Stefan Hunstein uses photographs and postcards from the early postwar era to excavate Germany's hopes, following the devastation of the Second World War, for its reconstruction in the form of the Federal Republic. His montages, interpreted through color and digital processing, articulate the Republic's self-image during these years, projecting what Hunstein calls "a panorama of yearning."
