WER DAS LIEST, IST DOOF!
ZKM, Center for Arts and Media Karlsruhe
Installation: Neon sign, red flashing, 200 x 28 cm
This work was conceived for the library of the Villa Aurora in California, the former residence of the
German writer Lion Feuchtwanger, in exil from Nazi Germany. The neon sign was installed above the shelves stacked with Feuchtwanger's collection of books: Anyone reading this is dumb! For the exhibition "Lichtkunst aus Kunstlicht", the sign flashed its message in the ZKM bookshop.
