Exposition

The Anonymous – A Documentary Memory and Transformation Project (2023)

Bengt Bok

About this exposition

en
De anonyma (The Anonymous) is a research project on memory and transformation that is divided into three parts: a book, a audio work, and a film. Over the past twenty years, Bengt Bok has returned several times to a former Nazi concentration camp north of Berlin. The first time he visited the site, he was shocked by the former death camp’s immediate proximity to a surrounding village. A community. Not only today but when the camp was still in use by the Nazis. How could people carry on living so nearby? He subsequently transformed the memories of his personal encounters, experiences and observations both in the camp and in the village into a book, which he, in turn, transformed into a sound work and, finally, into a film. In this exposition, Bok explores what became specific to, and distinctive about, each of the three different expressions or works — in other words, which narrative components remained, which disappeared, and which were added.

De anonyma är ett forskningsprojekt om minne och transformering uppdelat i tre delar: en bok, ett ljudverk och en film. De senaste tjugo åren har Bengt Bok flera gånger återkommit till ett före detta koncentrationsläger norr om Berlin. Lägret ligger omgärdat av en by, ett samhälle. Tätt inpå. När han först såg det chockades han av närheten. Hur kunde man leva så nära? Byn fanns även där när lägret var i bruk. Minnet från hans möten, upplevelser och iakttagelser i lägret och byn transformerade han till en bok – som i sin tur transformerats till ett ljudverk och sedan till en film. I den här expositionen undersöker han vad som blir specifikt för de olika uttrycken, de olika verken. Vilka berättarkomponenter följer med, vilka försvinner och vilka tillkommer?
