Dressed in old prison clothes, Carl-Wolfgang Holzapfel contemplates his cell
Reliving Stasi isolation - for art
The West German political activist had been demonstrating in East Berlin against the arrest of political prisoners and had suddenly become one himself.
He was locked up in a secret Stasi prison. He spent the next nine months in complete isolation, as his Stasi interrogators tried to break him. He was subjected to psychological torture.
Now Mr Holzapfel has returned to the former Berlin jail, Hohenschoenhausen, to relive his incarceration.
