"Während «Billeder af Feldmann» und «Bilder/Pictures» von Feldmann mitgestaltete Kataloge anläßlich von Austellungen sind, benutzt Feldmann in den übrigen Titeln das Medium Buch, um in grösserem Umfang bildfolgen zu zeigen und mediale Zusamenhänge aufzuzeigen. Exemplarisch dafür ist "Der Überfall", 1975 im Wolfgang Hake Verlag erschienen, in dem Feldmann Die Zeitungsfotos, die einen Überfall mit Geiselnahme dokumentieren, unkommentiert aber geordnet zusammenstellt und ihres Umfeldes beraubt, reproduziert". (Lippert).
"«Der Überfall» does not look at the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon directly, but at the kind of caper the group carried out: an armed bank robbery. It takes the form of a scrapbook - facsimiles of actual newspaper photographs and cuttings are tipped in, charting the course of an early morning bank raid in the town of Hilden that went wrong leading to the takng of hostages, a ransom demand, ten hours pf stand-off and the eventual shooting of the rabber in the tight – an injury that he inflicted upon himself. Feldmann shows how different newspapers will take a key image, crop it differently, and through captions sometimes tell widely differing stories. How many perpetrators were there? How much was demands? What happened at the final shooting? Did the robber actually wound himself? By bulding up these differing accounts, built around the same images,Feldmann demonstrates how a piece of apparently incontrovertible, clear visual evidence is actually as evanescent and as murky as fog.
