Dimensions: 250 x 149 cm
Materials: acryl, paper, collage pieces mounted on self-made cardboard
This paperwork uses excerpts from a prosa work written by Wolfgang Köppen in 1950 – 5 years after the end of world-war II – serving as a reference to the year 2001, approximately 10 years after the incorporation of the former German Democratic Republik (GDR) into the German republic. The collage pieces are derived from the ‘Shelter’-light installation (->) which shows minor language deviations indicating the ‘non-digestion’ of German world-war-II-history in daily life and associated newspaper articles collected during 2001 which was exhibited during the same show.
