This extraordinary project began when artist duo Wysocka and Pogo stumbled
upon a peculiar archive on eBay—a collection of handmade zines containing
rephotographed images from a 1920s pornographic film. These enigmatic
booklets, it later emerged, were privately made by the so-called “Vampire from
Dachauer Moor”, an elusive figure from Münich’s occult scene of the 60’s and
70’s, whose story teeters on the boundary between myth and reality. This cryptic
discovery sparked a deeper investigation into the zines’ origin, setting the stage
for the photobook’s haunting narrative. By recontextualizing the found zines and
integrating them with archival material from different sources, the photobook
transcends the realm of a traditional historical record, evolving into an exploration
of identity, obscurity, and the power of narrative construction.
