In 2008, Adam Golfer spent two months traveling through Germany, exploring the landscape and spending time with young people in their twenties. The photographs he created from this period – of both the landscape and the people of Germany – represent an investigation into the bond between Golfer, the Jewish grandson of Holocaust survivors, and Germany as a people and culture. Through these images, Golfer explores how the psychological effects and trauma of a major collective experience such as the Holocaust are passed down through generations via family ties, national identity, religion and notions of responsibility. The project is an inquiry into the potential of future generations from opposite sides of a conflict to come together rather than be held apart by the weight of history. kin* is an ongoing body of work that Golfer continues to develop and expand.
