What is it:
There are iron railings on a hill overlooking the city of Dresden. When you rest your elbows on the railings and place your hands over your ears, the sound of descending airplanes and exploding bombs can be heard through bone conduction. In 1945, in the last days of World War ll, U.S. and British forces carried out a random bombing raid over Dresden in eastern Germany. To cope with the sound of the air raid, the people of Dresden at that time covered their ears and bent their heads in the same way as the audience experiences this installation. This work hands down the city’s tragic memories.
