Teufelsberg, When Stones Speak - Carol Müller
Carol Müller ( France )
Teufelsberg, When Stones Speak explores the relationship between memory, landscape, and reconstruction through an emblematic site of German history: Berlin’s Teufelsberg. Built from the city’s ruins after 1945, this artificial hill condenses the layers of twentieth-century history – an unfinished Nazi project, a political utopia of ecological remediation, a Cold War listening station, and later a wasteland gradually reclaimed by nature.
Through photography and archival materials, the project questions how an artificial territory can become the support of a latent collective memory, reactivated by the echoes of new theatres of war. It also pays tribute to the Trümmerfrauen, the “women of the ruins,” who – often in appalling conditions – took part in the reconstruction of Berlin, inscribing Teufelsberg within a human and sensorial continuity.
