With RESTLICHT - Eine temporäre Gedenkskulptur (RESIDUAL LIGHT - A Temporary Memorial
Sculpture) Werner Mally a Munich sculptor has made an innovative contribution to current
questions about artistic forms of remembrance culture. In place of static holocaust memorial
sites he relies on a temporary installation which offers postwar generations possibilities
for information identification and empathy. RESTLICHT is a sculpture and a potential event
location at the same time. The memorial sculpture is based on the notes recorded by Friedrich
Krals in the summer of 1945 written immediately after his return from the concentration camps
and published under the title Hungermarsch (i.e. hunger march 2005).
