Works

In his monumental multimedia installation WE ALL (Except the Others), Rémy Markowitsch transforms the historic suspended car workshop of the Völklingen Ironworks into a spatial field of remembrance. Between slag heaps, benzene houses, and the Church of Reconciliation unfolds a dense web of history and the present: forced labor, environmental destruction, the power and myth of the Röchling family. Archival footage, new film scenes, and voices intertwine into a poetic and unsettling homage to a contradictory legacy.
