Photograph of an art project by Silke Wagner on Odeonsplatz in front of the Feldherrnhalle. The installation is a living monument intended to create the illusion of a sculpture: A series of performers sit and lie in motionless poses on white plinths stacked like pyramids. Their faces show rigid, sad or agonised expressions. The performers are dressed in green-grey costumes that match the verdigris bronze patina of the two generals' sculptures on the left and right in the Feldherrnhalle. Two of the figures in the foreground hold a memorial plaque with the inscription "In memory of the victims of sexual violence during the war". The highest plinth block also bears the word "Anonymous" in capital letters, which is also the title of the art project.
