“In my artistic archive project, I am focused on the exploration, representation and organi
zation of memories. In doing so, I pursue the idea of charting or documenting individual
memories in a way that makes them tangible and navigable. This includes creating a vis
ual representation of memories and exploring connections to institutionalized memory or
history through archives or landmarks, among others.
During my residency in New York, I am tracing the paths of the Hungarian-Jewish communities in New York, conducting research in archives, libraries, and meeting with individuals such as Hungarian-Jewish Holocaust survivor Dr. Zahava Szász Stessel. Dr. Stessel was forced to work in an external camp of the Buchenwald concentration camp near my home town of Leipzig in 1944/45 and now resides in New York.
To complement the theme, I am offering bookbinding workshops where everyone can par ticipate and bring their own book ideas to life. Participation is free, and materials will be provided. No prior experience is necessary.”
