Description (eng)
Six sketches complete the fire department command´s report on the fire in the Rotunda on September 17, 1937, which is kept in the archives of the Vienna Fire Brigade Museum and forms part of my academic bachelor´s thesis "In Flammen aufgegangen und niedergebrannt. Über die Brandkatastrophe der Wiener Rotunde". On the one hand, this thesis examines the authorship, intention and distribution of the drawings. On the other hand, the interplay of image and writing is addressed and critically examined with regard to objectivity, knowledge transfer and legitimation function.
