A book on the series has been published in German and English in december 2009 by the prestigious art publisher Hatje Cantz Verlag.

The next stop of the installation will be at Villa Merkel (Esslingen, March 28–June 6, 2010).
Stefan Hunstein repeatedly works with photographic source material, which in his eyes is testimony to our collective memory. In the past several years, he has been exploring recent German history with the aid of images dating from the thirties to the sixties.
In his work, "Schőn war’s!" (It was nice!) Hunstein employed postcard motifs from the young Federal Republic of Germany from the fifties and sixties, manipulating the images and adding color to some of them.
