Michele Bernardi: „Ein Ort für ein Wort. Ein Wort für einen Ort (Ein Zeitzeichen)“

The artist Michele Bernardi, who lives in Munich and South Tyrol, deals with three swastikas that can be seen in the windows of the historic building on Oettingenstrasse, which is now the seat of the Bavarian State Ministry for Economic Affairs, Regional Development and Energy. In an artistic installation, he provides these relics with the words “yesterday”, “today” and “tomorrow”. A subtle examination of the propagandistic legacy of the Third Reich and how it was processed in the post-war period, the present and the future.
