# Christoph Schlingensief: *Deutschlandsuche ’99*

May 2, 2025 – Apr 25, 2027 · on view

A room on Christoph Schlingensief’s 1999 action Deutschland versenken, in which he symbolically “sank” Germany in the Hudson River.

Invited by MoMA PS1, Schlingensief knelt before the Statue of Liberty on 9 November 1999, a date tied to both the 1938 pogrom and the fall of the Wall, then threw an urn of symbolic German ashes and a suitcase of 99 everyday German objects into the river. The work, given to the museum by his estate, fills a room within the collection display Extreme Tension.

Curated by Klaus Biesenbach and Lisa Botti.
