The History of Europe. 2012
Installation, detail
documenta 13, 2012 - Karlsaue park
The right vitrine displayed a small prehistoric stone tool, and a bullet from World War II that was never fired because acid had been spilled onto it. The objects, respectively individualized as Exhibit A and Exhibit B, were meant to illustrate the history of Europe, explained in the left showcase. According to the text, the last three centuries were a rather unimportant period, and Europe not really a continent, but instead a political entity invented by small groups of people in Rome and Moscow.
