THEY'VE JUST PULLED OVER - ENG

In selected places around the town I wanted to emphasize the phenomenon of otherness. A number of camping vans packed full of clothes were arranged to be moved from location to location. Trough the appearances of these traces, I intended to create a situation in which it would be possible to observe the reaction of the city residents and their ability to accept the foreign newcomers.My purpose was to create a work that would, among other things, test the memory of the Shoah, while updating it regardless of the outcome. We have a tendency to treat the Holocaust as a closed chapter of history, with no ties to the present. Consequently, we are practically able to file it away ad acta. The anachronous attempts at commemoration of the Holocaust led me to reflect on what would be an adequate form for its contemporary representation. What should the Holocaust remembrance be? Should it be merely a way of recollecting the past, putting names on something that actually has no name and cannot have one? Passive forms of commemoration do not update memory. If anything, they facilitate our taking of a conformist attitude to reassure our conscience. Our memory can be short-lived and selective, sometimes it can be deceptive. Having come to understand the enormity of the suffering caused by one human being to another, we have let ourselves be persuaded that Shoah has made us sensitive enough. For too short a time, as it turns out. Memory of the Shoah is possible only in the active sense. What is more important in my belief, in the confrontation with the deceptiveness of human memory, is the never-ending attempt to make people sensitive to people, to their suffering, which can prove to be ours. Can I sensitize people by representing human absence with the help of material things? By attempting to draw attention to the existence of some unknown newcomers in a symbolic sense I am reversing the process of transforming the subject into an object. I wish to inspire the viewer to imagine the owners of these things. These are not the traces left by people who are no longer here, but traces of people still present among us. Roland Schefferski

MEMORY OF THE SHOAH

“We must assume that all the suffering, also the suffering that has not touched us, should have touched us and that we have merely been saved from it without any merit on our part.” -- Karl Jaspers
