Europe's sunken places

Sabine Berking reviews the art project "Last & Lost", which is about "Europe's lost and sinking places". The project includes the publishing of a German-Polish book and a photo exhibition in Munich. This weekend there were two readings and a concert in Berlin. "Nobody would deny that the morbid has aesthetical appeal... 'Last and Lost' has become a celebration of the return of a part of Europe, spirited on by its literature... Minsk, Limberg, Breslau, Vilnius – all these places belong to a new sentimental empire, a memory-scape for the West, but also for their inhabitants. In the eyes of cultural anthropologist Artur Klinau, Minsk is the Stalinist version of a sun city and, at the same time, a Potemkinesque village. Built on the cemeteries of the European wars, the facades of the people's palaces lining its 15 kilometre-long main thoroughfare conceal nothing but crumbling ruins. A city idyll like this cannot exist in a democracy. The best a democracy can do is to preserve it as a gesamtkunstwerk."
