About
‘Libeskind filled the building with vertical rooms that are simply empty and thus unusable – for a functional building in the strict sense, they are dysfunctional. They symbolize something absent: the European Jews, who not least enriched Berlin life until the Nazi regime came to power. Libeskind is a master of absences and losses, as his recent 9/11 Memorial in New York demonstrates.
‘Upon my first visit to the Jewish Museum in Berlin I noticed a specific acoustic, especially in the “Holocaust Tower”. In December 2002 I visited the museum to record sounds there and in one of the “Voids”, where Menashe Kadishman’s installation Fallen Leaves was located. I subsequently worked with these recordings at the Experimentalstudio des SWR in Freiburg, resulting in the spatial composition void – mal d’archive. Except for a few oboe notes, the work is a form of musique concrète. It is for 8 loudspeakers, and develops a spatial landscape in which these sounds are used to tell a story whose concretion each listener must conceive for themselves. mal d’archive is the title of a book by Jacques Derrida; in this context, it refers to something being inscribed in a gap in the memory.’ - Claus-Steffen Mahnkopf
