Appelplatz
Based around the events of the Holocaust and in particular, women and children, as victims of those years.
Appelplatz utilizes personal items such as toys, cooking utensils and shoes formed using liquid latex and hair.
Latex forms a skin like framework for the remembrance of items,
and lives, once owned and treasured: now lost as victims of
genocide.

"Antreten zum Appell! Form into columns for the roll-call!" The
command made even the dying men shudder. The Häftlings in camp E of
Birkenau did not work; they waited to be selected either for the gas
chambers or for being sent to another concentration camp in Germany.
They did nothing but gaze at the writhes of smoke rising from the
crematoria, at the bar bed-wire fences and wait.
The roll call was the one and only event of each day, its major
event, and its essence. There were days when nothing of consequence,
beside the roll call, happened.
