An artist’s book accompanying the exhibition of the same title at Halle für Kunst, Lüneburg, with an introduction by Eva Birkenstock and Hannes Loichinger.
In 1992, shortly after its take-off from Schiphol Airport, a freight plane owned by Israeli airplane company El Al crashed into a residential complex in Bijlmermeer, Amsterdam. For the exhibition and the book, Dani Gal visited the occupants of the Bijlmermeer district and journalist Vincent Dekker for the purpose of entering into a dialogue with them on the plane crash and the reassembled everyday life in the reconstructed building. Based on comprehensive research, oriented by the atmospheres and worlds of subjective memories and experiences, the book gives an overview of various occurrences and stories woven into a complex weave of abstract and formal connections.
