Dorit Margreiter, Monument of Modernity, 2002
Dorit Margreiter made reference to the “Reichsautobahn”, known as the economic prestige project of the National Socialists, and poses the question of what the monuments of modernity are. The artist installed a hunter’s high, from which the surviving foundations of the route of the former highway could be seen. With a high-mounted poster “Monument for a film about a monument”, she referred to Hartmut Bitomsky’s film “Reichsautobahn” from 1986 and documented text and image extracts from this.

Zygmunt Bauman, Lydia Bauman Culture in a Liquid Modern World
Odo Marquand has characterized the present as “the epoch of strangeness in front of the world.
Modernity has drawn a line. A line around voices. A line under the past. It has circled, encompassed, enclosed voices, in order to separate them, in order to order them, in order to set them one against the other.
