Just seen it at the Tate. A accidental disorientation, then a profound question, leading to a 'simple' enquiry/inquiry [pun intended], painstaking research, time and more time, an innocuous method of presentation, results in a mesmeric meditation that I found profoundly moving. (Enough 'm' s already!).
I had a similar feeling in Krakow in the 'Jewish quarter' ....
Interesting to commemorate German's mostly lost Jewish community in such a unique way. It answers a few questions for me. I have found the Germans very willing, on the whole, to deal with the issue of memory and wanting to move on towards the future. The only way to bury the past and move towards the future is to DEAL with it by naming it. I believe in forgiving, but of course we must never forget. In the Presence of Absence.
