ICH GEDENKE (I Mourn)is a work about grief, remembrance, and the question of how individual mourning can become possible where public perception so often fails through language, repetition, and distance. It begins from the experience of a media reality in which human loss is reduced to terms, numbers, and constant availability. The installation seeks to oppose this form of desensitization with a different stance: not explanation or accusation, not illustration, but a concentrated space for acknowledgment, naming, and quiet remembrance. At its center is the dignity of the individual, even where biographies have vanished, names are unknown, and stories have been broken off.

Español

ICH GEDENKE (En memoria) es una obra sobre el duelo, la memoria y la pregunta de cómo puede hacerse posible un recuerdo individual allí donde la percepción pública fracasa a menudo por el lenguaje, la repetición y la distancia. Parte de la experiencia de una realidad mediática en la que la pérdida humana se transforma en términos, cifras y disponibilidad permanente. La instalación intenta oponer a esta forma de insensibilización otra actitud: no explicación ni acusación, no ilustración, sino un espacio concentrado para el reconocimiento, el acto de nombrar y el recuerdo silencioso. En su centro está la dignidad de cada persona, incluso allí donde las biografías han desaparecido, los nombres son desconocidos y las historias han quedado truncadas.
