Konsum shop in Ziezow

Tape recorder

Speaker: Christian Kesten


‘Konsum’ was the name of the former East German retail chain and in the Ziezow Konsum shop, time appears to have stood still since the fall of the Berlin Wall. It seems impossible to connect to the present. It is a mysterious, melancholy place, out of step with time.

Nothing was altered in the shop – only a cassette recorder with a tape-recorded voice was added. The tape contains a collage of texts originally spoken by people with dysfunctional memories.
