The act of memory: Atlantic city boardwalk Holocaust MemorialRecord: The holocaust striped uniform, a second skin used to mark and recognize. Just a
piece of fabric, that keeps memories in every thread. Rewrite: The fabric is projected into the site. Every stripe is now land and void, it contains
depth. They become the measure. Re-act: This new striped land creates a dual experience. On top (outside) the “meditation
plaza”, a peaceful open public space, facing the horizon in an irregular floor. On the
inside “the memorial of souls”, a sequence of translucent planes containing white
dots, as Jewish souls, are lit up by the sun coming from the gaps above between
stripes, creating a quiet and never ending atmosphere, where the outside sounds are
perceptible as a notion, as whispers of people, waves and wind. The experience is now spatial, becoming an act of memory.
