PUBLIC AND PARTICIPATORY
All the places and anecdotes mentioned in this project are the result of discussions with Weimar‘s inhabitants I have met thanks to recommendations of friends and professionals in Weimar.
History is a very important tool, but not a collection of certainty–that is why I choose here oral transmission and an emphasis on remembrance more than precision of the facts as a way to gather informations. This project does not pretend to balance the system but to provoke curiosity and confront the system in place with its lacks and in a larger view to question the way one built history/memories.
All the stories have been told to me in German and with the help and the difficulties of translations are written here. For the need of the project the stories have been reduced to their minimum. Through this unfair process I tried to stay as close as possible to the original version.
