Joseph Beuys made a series of 13 postcards using photographs by Baron Wilhelm von Gloeden (1856-1931). Von Gloeden was a German photographer who was active in Sicily and particularly worked with portraits and pastoral scenes with young models. Originally commissioned by Gallerie Lucio Amelio in Naples, these postcards depict landmarks as well as young Arab residents. On many of the portraits is written La rivoluzione siamo Noi (We are the revolution).
