Olympiazentrum
Munich, Germany
October 2011
A small scale project carried out in the course of a 5-day Magnum Photos workshop during the 2011 edition of Fotodoks photo festival in Munich, Germany.
September 5, 1972. Israeli athletes and coaches were kidnapped. Failed rescue attempts led to a dramatic outcome: 11 people were killed. Today the former Olympic village accomodates students in rather rational dorms they call themselves "bunkalows".
They live with the overhanging backdrop of a traumatic event that occured when all the eyes in the world were drawn to Munchen.
