FOUR VARIATIONS OF FROM ADLER TO ZYLBER:
STUDIES FOR A GERMAN LANDSCAPE
(Image=gravestones)


STUDIES FOR A GERMAN LANDSCAPE grew out of the FROM ADLER TO ZYLBER project and are intended specifically for public spaces. They each include all 100 of the German-Jewish names that I took from a 1942 Auschwitz transport list.


_
The 100 names are enlarged onto billboards along a chosen route between several locations. Examples: Cologne/Bonn; Linz/Vienna; Berlin/Leipzig.


_
The 100 names are enlarged like concert posters and glued to walls/sides of buildings in a specific town.


_
Within the interior of an S-Bahn car the 100 names are mounted high along walls or on the ceiling. This version best contrasts modern urban transportation with the transports of Jews (and also uses the same city machinery).


_
In the most ephemeral and meditative variation, an airplane sky-writes the 100 names, one by one, which fade and disappear.
