Exhibition - New Synagogue Berlin, Centrum Judaicum
The exhibition architecture presents two very different types of art that were created by Auschwitz inmates – officially commissioned works and illegally made drawings and sketches. Appearance and reality confront each other. Visitors contemplate paintings requested by the SS, while cuts in the exhibition walls simultaneously draw their gaze to secretly drawn pictures that reflect life as it genuinely was for the inmates.A further central design element of the exhibition is a triangular interlocking tower representing the “camp museum”.
