Installation project at the second showing of the exhibition Uberlebens Kunst, curated by Jiří and Jana Ševčík, Festival Mitte Europe, castle Kulnbach, Germany, October 2000

 

Editorial was an istallation created for the specific gallery space in Kulnbach castle. It consisted of a quotation from a testimony, recounting historical details of the mass exodus of ethnic Germans from Czechoslovakia, organized by Czechs shortly after the end of World War II. The text was devided into short segments and installed in illuminated glass cabinets in the walls. The text segments spread throughout the whole exposition and it was not possible to read the text as a whole, creating various possible readings.
