The piece "Ewiger Anklang" honors Siegfried Translateur, a prominent composer, orchestra leader, and music publicist who was a notable figure in Berlin's cultural scene until he was persecuted by the Nazis and deported to KZ Theresienstadt in 1944. The piece consists of a graphic installation of waltz steps at the former location of the Berlin Sportpalast, where Translateur's waltz 'Wiener Praterleben' became famous as the 'Sportpalast Walzer.' A QR code embedded in the graphic allows passersby to access a website with a Hörspiel available in 4 languages and information about the life and music of Siegfried Translateur. More information and the audio composition can be found at www.ewiger-anklang.de.
My work Home (2012) and prints from my series Cartographies — Fluid, Fragile, Futile will be exhibited at the Henry Ford Bau, FU Berlin.

Benedict from Marcus Ahlers, Ruben Aubrecht, Chan Sook Choi, Douglas Henderson, Helena Her, Peer Kriesel, Chelsea Leventhal, and Gretta Louw.
