There are glimpses of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe all over Frankfurt, which is to be expected since it is his hometown.  This huge quote on the side of a building in the Ostend is from his early novel – hence the signatur “the young G.” – alluding to the bible verse “Where, o death, is thy sting?” And he signed a letter to his lover in English, a few years later.

“Spiegel der Geschichte” von Matthias Braun – a memorial in Schwetzingen, Germany, commemorating the victims of the Nazi era and urging future generations to safeguard democracy and human rights.

To me this installation signifies the truth that it happened to them and it can happen to us – the people reflected in the figures. The people seen clapping is an art  installation on the opposite side of the road called “Die Claque” from Guido Messer – depicting four men clapping with their eyes closed, applauding whatever they are paid to applaud.
