Places of Remembrance

Joselyn McDonald

"Places of Remembrance is a memorial in Berlin-Schoeneberg in a neighborhood called the Bayerische Viertel created in remembrance of Jews living in Germany during the Third Reich. In June 1993, the artists Renata Stih & Frieder Schnock put up 80 brightly printed signs on lampposts."

The signs created by the artists feature bold images coupled with real rules and regulations designed to strip away freedom from Jewish people in Berlin. This artwork is a kind of decentralized memorial as the signs are located throughout the Bayerische Viertel neighborhood.
