A site specific performance on Teufelsberg in Berlin 2014 The performance digs into unpleasant pasts of the audience members relating to the material past of the site. Piled out of Second World War rubble that covers a Nazi built technical college, Teufelberg (Devil's hill) is layered with re-appropriated materials from the past. Archaeology of Losing Memory questions whether traces of unwanted memory are better destroyed, hidden or archived. In the course of the performance the audience is invited to question choices on dealing with memories they would like to forget through choosing to proceed by burning, burying or archiving. The site continues to arise controversy as the performance event had to be officially cancelled and was instead realised as an unannounced part of tours of the site.
