Absence and Loss

About

An exhibition of contemporary photographs, by Marion Davies, to present an innovative, restrained and yet powerful approach to Holocaust remembrance and memorialisation.

"Absence and Loss is a photographic essay based on Marion Davies' quest to further understand her family's heritage. The daughter of Jewish refugees who fled Nazi Germany, Marion felt a strong desire to visit Germany where her ancestors had lived for centuries. Struck by the number of Holocaust memorials Marion began to question how Germans of today are confronting and dealing with consequences of their past. The exhibition is presented through a series of photographs of Holocaust memorials.

With the issues surrounding the recent arrival of waves of refugees in Europe, the exhibition makes an important contribution towards examining the continuing relevance for us all of discrimination, prejudice, racism and extremism."
