The Coldest Planet in the Universe: The Human Heart
Violence and Genocide in the Twentieth Century
Fri, June 19, 2015 – Sun, August 09, 2015
Accompanying the conference »The Tribunal – A Trial Against the Transgressions of the 20th Century«, Peter Weibel’s installation »The Coldest Planet in the Universe: The Human Heart. Violence and Genocide in the Twentieth Century« provides background information on the crimes against humanity before the tribunal.
On the big screen of the ZKM_PanoramaLab, texts and images identify massacres, genocides, civil wars, assassinations, and terrorist attacks. The timeline of these bloody events informs visitors about crimes, both well-known and forgotten and ignored, providing food for thought about how politics and society have handled the aftermath of these events.
