Project Installed
(un)Documented Disappearance was installed on Monday and Tuesday (22-23/02/07).
All the pictures with descriptions can be viewed in high-resolution in my Flicker.
The installation of the project happened on the coldest day of the year we have had so far this year. In -8 degrees (Celsius) we picked up the sewage covers and set up the photos the best we could.
On Monday evening I installed the smaller pictures in the small corner sewage entrances with the wonderful help of Ali (locations are listed here).
Less than one hour after the installation, Osman’s face was burnt by a cigarette butt.
On Tuesday morning we installed the project with the help of workers from the city of Jena.
The covers of the canal each weighed 350 kg. Heiko Grübner and Mathias Fischer from the city of Jena did the job of lifting the covers. They were very helpful, extremly nice, and did a great job.
Danke!
Sebastian Rallo is my beloved flatmate and friend, and is the they assistant for the project.
I could not have done it without him. Thanks!
