PULVERTURM MEMORIAL IN JENNERSDORF, AUSTRIA
Title: THE CITY WITHOUT
Draft for a monument
The monument thematizes the Shoa and refers symbolically to a respectful togetherness of people. Special emphasis is placed on the visibility of groups that are not seen as part of the majority
society - in this case represented by the Star of David. The title "The city without" is chosen openly and emphasizes the possibilities that are offered to a society, for example, the city can be
without prejudice, without refugees, without hate.
The armchair sculpture refers to the film "The City Without Jews" (directed by Hans Karl Breslauer, 1924), which is a film adaptation of the novel of the same name by Hugo Bettauer (1922). Today,
the film is considered worldwide as the first explicit cinematic statement against anti-Semitism.
INSCRIPT:
In memory of 29 Jewish forced laborers, who were
murdered here in February 1945, by representatives of the
Nazi regime.
Nameless but not forgotten.
Resistance is possible.

This stool sculpture is inspired by a stool that stood in the parental home - the so-called "African Room" - of James Tiptree Jr. aka Alice B. Sheldon. On the surface is inscribed a quotation from Sheldon's biographer, Julie Phillips, which reads: "Around this time, for reasons unknown, she also underwent removal of the uterus."
