„Contemporary social and political discourses – as they circulate – are reminiscent of recurring patterns taking on new forms. The treadmill of history seems to turn ceaselessly, as a narrative sequence with no pause. Global transformations are having a profound impact on societies. They cause upheavals, threaten social cohesion and often result in displacement, flight and migration. In uncertain times, military might in the form of tank parades seems to cater to a yearning for power. How can one influence or halt negative developments?
Is there no lasting gain in understanding, but only progressive escalation? The questions and associations raised by the installation point to a culture of remembrance and insight – and appeal to the essential principle of ‘Never forget’.“
