JEWISH MUSEUM
THE JEWISH MUSEUM IN BERLIN, DESIGNED BY DANIEL
LIBESKIND, IS A REPRESENTATION OF
THE JEWISH LIFESTLYE BEFORE, DURING, AND AFTER THE HOLOCAUST.
AS A REFLECTION OF
THIS IDEA, THE MUSEUM HAS OPPOSING SPACES OF LIGHTNESS AND DARKNESS. AFTER COLLECTING SEVERAL IMAGES OF THE BUILDING, PORTIONS OF THE PICTURES WERE SPLICED
AND
