German Tourist Poster #3 (the Kehlstein)
German Tourist Poster #3 (the Kehlstein) is a painted pseudo advertisement addressing history from two perspectives, the British and the German. The image depicts Hitler's Alpine retreat, the Eagle's Nest. By turning the building into restaurant and tourist attraction, it explores Germany's recent willingness to come to terms with it's Past. But as the poster is written in English and therefore, aimed at a British audience, it highlights the still prevalent British obsession with the Second World War evident in the countless documentaries shown on British television channels.
