Shalechet (Fallen leaves) installation in the “Void.” by Ricardo Chaves Photography

Jewish Museum Berlin Shalechet - Fallen Leaves The Installation Menashe Kadishman's contribution to the Jewish Museum Berlin is the installation titled Shalechet (Fallen Leaves) in the Memory Void, one of the empty spaces of the Libeskind Building. Over 10,000 open-mouthed faces coarsely cut from heavy, circular iron plates cover the floor. Kadishman's installation, on loan from Dieter and Si Rosenkranz, powerfully compliments the spatial feel of the Voids. While these serve as an architectural expression of the irretrievable loss of the Jews murdered in Europe, Menashe Kadishman's sculptures filling them evoke painful recollections of the innocent victims of yesterday, today, and tomorrow. http://ift.tt/WjgPrr © Ricardo Chaves Photography. http://flic.kr/p/6xhDB3
