reception

A central aspect of his work is the investigation of the medium of photography for its function and significance for our cultural memory . With the work "Mauerblicke / Wall Views" (1990) he combines historical documentation with an analysis of photography.

“… You are dealing with a technical reflection on the method of ideology. Kaiser's wall pictures are an archeology of ideology or the ideological in that they allow the method of ideology to meet its material and technical conditions of reality. ... "(Knut Ebeling)
