memorial against bombing wars. First model, working photos. RC Gallery Production.
description:

Behind a black grid grid square, aerial photographs of destroyed houses from 1943 in Hamburg appear. The center is the bombed-out St. Nicholas Church. Hamburg is just one example of the madness that drives people to destruction, retaliation and destruction again. Embedded in the grids are ceramic plates with the names and dates of many destroyed cities: Rotterdam, Hiroshima, New York, Lübeck and more.

The ceramics were fired in the workshop of Alexander Graf zu Rantzau in Lauenburg. At the very bottom, workers appear, gathered around the Venus de Milo in the Louvre Museum in Paris, photographed by w.o.t. aka zipOz.

Candlesticks are attached to some points of the grid square, reminding us of the helpless commemoration of the victims of man-made disasters.

On the outside of the grid hangs a doctor's old stethoscope. How many times will he have worried about the physical condition of people? The whole memorial is covered with battered bandages.

ANTI AIR RAID MARK. Packed, back from an exhibition. Original material: wood, painting, photos, ceramics, bandages, stethoscope. The CONCEPT prescribes a structure, several egg cartons in a circle, filled with egg coals, two monitors on the left and right with these two films in replay, fed by the links of the YouTube films. The sound is bombastic, enhanced by proven asynchrony. The central picture is at least 14 feet high, on canvas and should stand in free space.
