Memorial to Homosexuals Persecuted Under Nazism

A solid concrete cuboid stands quietly in the park, simple and heavy with meaning. At first glance, it looks like a stark monument. Then the eye catches a single window set into its front face, drawing visitors closer.

Through this small opening, a short film plays on a loop, showing two men sharing a kiss. The intimate scene is brief, gentle, and deliberate. It challenges the cold surface of the structure with a moment of human tenderness, inviting reflection on love, dignity, and the right to be seen.

A living memorial that evolves

The film inside does not stay the same forever. Every two years, the video changes, bringing new faces and moments to the screen. Future sequences include women kissing, broadening the memorial’s portrayal of queer love. This ongoing renewal keeps the artwork active and responsive, reminding visitors that remembrance is not static—it grows, includes, and continues.
