Monument to Homosexual Holocaust Victims Opens in Berlin
After years of controversy, a monument to homosexual victims of the Holocaust is finally opening in Berlin. Germany's federal commissioner for culture, Bernd Neumann, is to formally open the monument Tuesday together with Berlin Mayor Klaus Wowereit.
The monument was designed by the Berlin-based Norwegian-Danish artist duo Ingar Dragset and Michael Elmgreen.The monument consists of a single stele or pillar, 3.6 meters high and 1.90 meters wide, located in Berlin's central Tiergarten park.
A video screen set into the monument shows a one-and-a-half minute film loop of two men kissing, directed by the Danish director Thomas Vinterberg, best known for his 1998 drama "The Celebration." Visitors can watch the film, which was shot on the same location as the monument, through a small window in the pillar.
The new monument is located opposite the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, which consists of 2,711 concrete stelae, and refers to the larger monument in terms of its visual language.
This is the video playing inside the monument.
