ARCHIVE OF DISAPPEARED PLACES

Neu-Horno, Forst, Lusatia, Opening Autumn 2006, client: Municipality Forst and Vattenfall Europe Mining
„Gott has made Lusatia, but the devil has put the coal underneath. “
So say the Sorbs. The brown coal is both, a curse and a blessing for the region. The people have gained work and their bread from it. The vast surface mining has its prize: 130 villages have been demolished in parts or completely. The archive, which is
a multi media documentation centre deals with the fate of more than thousands persons affected, the memory of disappeared places, the practise of relocation in past and today,.
The coal lies underneath a thin layer of earth, which is pealed off for the surface mining. We interpret this layer as a landscape carpet, which we present as a carpet in the exhibition. It is an intelligent carpet with multi-media-skills.
