Present is history and history is part of the present
Documentation of a temporary art installation on the history of Berlin’s Steinplatz, Charlottenburg. Events and memories from 133 years that took place on and around Steinplatz were brought back to the square in the form of 21 additional monuments. For this compression of time in public space, the added as well as the existing artefacts of Steinplatz were left in protective containers.
Stefka Ammon and Katharina Lottner conducted this explorative experiment on the newly designed Steinplatz in late summer 2018 at the invitation of the Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf district office. The book contains further sources, historical image documents as well as transcriptions of numerous conversations held on Steinplatz with passers-by and residents about their personal memories during the exhibition.
