Veit Stratmann "Special Showing of video by Veit Stratmann"

This event has ended.
The artist was asked by the French National Agency for the treatment of Nuclear Waste (ANDRA) to contribute to a “think tank” on how to keep the memory of the waste sites and the knowledge of what is stored there alive for future generations.
With his proposal Veit Stratmann presented extensive notes on his reflections on memory and art. He based his project on the assumption that the inevitable loss of memory over time, regarding the nuclear waste storage site, can be compensated by an augmentation of its volume. The video shows the unfolding of the enormous crater into the earth that would have to be dug out next to the site, in order to show the depth and size of the destruction of the landscape that took place when the nuclear waste was buried there.
