These pages, that represent the 385 images from W. G. Sebald’s four published prose fictions, jump-started our 5-year long study of the late author’s work. By attempting to bring the pictures back to their pre-publication state where they existed only as parts of Sebald’s Bildmaterial, we were able to discover heretofore unknown connections between parts of the images instead of just the content contained in the image. This method has now become part of the ICI’s arsenal.
