Description
The Garden of Exile is located outside of the Jewish Museum in Berlin. 49 concrete stelae are built in a 7 by 7 square on slanting ground. On top Russian olive bushes grow as a symbol of hope. 48 are filled with soil from Berlin and the 49th in the middle with soil from Jerusalem. The slanting ground gives visitors a feeling of disorientation. The only vegetation on the stelae out of reach should recall the lack of stability felt by the Jews in exile.
