Monument, Installation artwork in Dresden, Germany
Three vertically positioned buses form a monumental structure in front of the Frauenkirche, creating a powerful visual statement in the city center.
The installation references a protective barricade made of buses in Aleppo during the 2015 Syrian civil war, connecting it to Dresden's World War II experience.
German-Syrian artist Manaf Halbouni created this installation to initiate discussions about war consequences and population displacement in different time periods.
The Monument installation, funded by Dresden city authorities and private donors, remained on display from February to April 2017 before moving to Berlin.
Visitors could interact with the installation through a specialized handrail that produced airplane sounds and vibrations from the 1945 bombing period.
