Duration: 2019-2021

In cooperation with the George Eastman museum (Rochester/US) the project explores the Photo-Drama of Creation (Charles Taze Russell, US 1914). The subproject for which I'm responsible considers the doctrinaire interpretation of this multi-media work in relation to the Bible Students' movement in the United States answering the following questions: What were the beliefs of the Bible Students on religion and society? How does The Photo-Drama of Creation illustrates their system of thought?
