Abstracts, is a series of four photographs which were taken at The Memorial of the Murdered Jews of Europe in Berlin. Superimposed views show and combine different parts of the field and are reminiscent of abstract painting. The photographic images utilize the overlapping dissolves created for the film Transversals (2013), which was shot at the same location.
Both the film Transversals and the photographic series Abstracts take the indeterminacy of the memorial and its abstract form as a starting point to investigate how the interstitial transforms ones understanding of space, place and memory. Andrew Benjamin discussing Eisenman’s ‘spaces of difference’ suggests that interstitial space is |
not a blank space that awaits projection but a disruptive space that confounds expectations. In the absence of any direct reference the memorial, though dedicated to the memory of the Holocaust, is an undetermined site whose ‘yet to be determined’ meaning is constituted through the visitor’s interaction. Benjamin understands the interstitial as a negative productivity, which transforms the stasis of meaning and function into a generative between. He says that the “interstitial is both the condition of the between – a spacing – and the consequence of a particular process.”
