Office for memories

Whether secret meeting places in their youth, leisure time at the fortress, spectacular trips across the border, romantic events, experiences related to construction of the motorway – in short the seemingly unimportant, everyday memories of social life were the focus of the project “Office for memories.” In September 2019, a desk went on a journey through the city, and at four stations the project team collected personal anecdotes from passers-by who had planned to come or spontaneously made time. The results are transcripts of personal conversations on location, copies of photos and documents they brought with them or memories they wrote themselves. In particular when it came to more well-known locations there were a lot of stories.
