Van der Art III: Sebastian Errazuriz – “Memorial of a concentration camp”

Spektakuläres Projekt von Sebastian Errazuriz aus dem Jahr 2006 (“Memorial of a concentration camp”, Santiago, Chile): FĂĽr eine Woche pflanzte Errazuriz einen zehn Meter hohen Magnolienbaum in die Mitte des chilenischen Nationalstadions. “A 10-meter magnolia tree is planted in the center of Chile’s National Stadium where dictator Pinochet in 1973 imprisoned thousands of political prisoners who were tortured and killed. After planting the tree, the stadium doors are open to the public as a park; offering a space to stop, look again, and remember. An impossible, cathartic soccer match played before 20.000 people, closes the project after a week of activity.” Was bisher passierte: Van der Art II: Helmut Smits – “Greenscreen”; Van der Art I: Pied La Biche – “Refait”.

    Must say that’s a great way to pay homage to people who suffered. Very symbolic.
