A Participatory Projection bringing the Goethe & Schiller Statues in Weimar to life to speak on behalf of the silenced!

Developed by Kunstfest Weimar and the Bauhaus University, and directed by projection pioneer Krzysztof Wodiczko, Die Ermittler was an interactive projection on Goethe-Schiller statue during the Kunstfest Weimar 2016. On the day of Goethe's birthday, the Goethe-Schiller monument was brought to life to speak on behalf of the silenced refugee community in Weimar and raise a democratic exchange of opinions in public space.

A live performance that facilitated a dialog between newcomers and citizens of Weimar. The dialogues were part pre-produced in a recording studio and part live- recorded in a custom-designed studio during the performance.
