Mulackstrasse 32: Slide Projections of Former Jewish Residents and Hebrew Reading Room, 1932, Berlin 1992

Shimon Attie’s "Mulackstrasse 32" (1992) is a photograph that documents the artist’s site-specific projection of a photograph onto the facade of a building in Berlin. The image projected is of former Jewish residents and a Hebrew reading room, using photographic slides to illuminate a building that once served as a gathering place for the Jewish community. Attie’s work often explores the memory of absent communities, using light projections to evoke historical presence in forgotten spaces. The photograph captures this ephemeral moment, highlighting the power of memory and the lingering presence of the past.
