Der alte Friedhof in Prag
The title “en circuit”, the subtitle der alte Friedhof in Prag together with the linguistically rudimentary character of the shorthand messages: „en circuit“ —the old cemetery in Prague— —for you Renée, my sister,— —do you remember?— —central European culture!— —Mitteleuropa!— —gone and forgotten— are contextual reflections on my part: how impressed and moved I was when I visited the Old Jewish Cemetery in Prag. Confronted with the sight of a vanished cultural world, I gazed at the old tombstones inscribed with Hebrew characters and jutting out at angles, half sunken into the earth. Suddenly my memory produced associated signals with the existence of a past culture: in the topography of the geographical ‘entente’ of the then Hapsburg monarchy with its fertile multiculturalism and many religions this vanished culture centrally anchored a specific “cross-over” character in a bygone Europe. As an heir to this same culture, I wanted to lend it expression.
