Abstract

Focusing on the case of Berlin, this article explores the function of memory landscapes using the concept of the labor of the negative. Through three Berlin cases-the memorialization of the Berlin Wall, recent counter-memorials to the Holocaust, and the urban appropriation of voids through temporary projects-the article suggests that the labor of the negative constitutes Berlin's memory landscape out of the interplay between absence and presence.
