Notes
This book engages with the colonial anthropometrical collection of Hans Lichtenecker and moves beyond it, theoretically, visually and artistically.... A crucial part of the collection, the voice recordings on wax cylinders, housed at the Berliner Phonogramm-Archiv, ... led to the digitalising and then translations and transcriptions of the texts recorded by Lichtenecker in Namibia in 1931. These recordings form central parts of both the exhibition and the book ; Bibliogr. p. 226-233
