Shimon Attie's Writing on the Wall: History, Memory, Aesthetics theorizes images from Attie's "The Writing on the Wall 1991-1993" installation as a memorial activity, and as an index or habitation for history. The images, which appeared in
Shimon Attie's Writing on the Wall: History, Memory, Aesthetics's presiding metaphor is that of loss-the central problem that the book addresses is that of forgetting. Contents: Introduction; Memory and the Scheunenviertel site; The space of forgetfulness; The archival apace; Spaces of exception; Allegory as a threshold space; Mediating signs; The tragic drama of Shimon Attie; Bibliography; Index.
