Der Staub und der Geist, an die Mauer entlang

In her performance walk, the artist, together with the participants, searches for and discovers invisible places and connections on the way from the Nordpromenade and the Platz ohne Namen, the Platen Houses and the former East Berlin with its even more distant history of absence in Berlin, the Jewish Cemetery Weißensee and the people who were buried and those who did not grow old enough to be buried there.

In the words of the Berlin-born poet Getrud Kolmar, who was deported from Berlin, the artist makes us think about how the past is reflected in the present, what has disappeared, what traces we can discover and finally, how we remember.
