The listed former freight depot in Idstein, located near Frankfurt am Main, Germany, has been used as a venue for cultural events since 2014.
The work is based on a 15-minute audio drama with memory scenes of the history of the Kulturbahnhof (Idstein Cultural Station). It is combined with installative objects in the hall of the Kulturbahnhof, which once served as a storage space for various freights.
Through the positioning of the objects in the space and the sound reminiscent of the history of industrialization and cargo history, the different layers of time can be experienced side by side in the space.

Die denkmalgeschützte ehemalige Güterhalle in Idstein wird seit 2014 als Ort für Kulturveranstaltungen genutzt.
Die Arbeit basiert auf einem 15-minütigen Hörspiel mit Erinnerungsszenen an die Geschichte des Kulturbahnhofs. Es wird mit installativen Objekten in der Halle des Kulturbahnhofs kombiniert, die einst als Lagerraum für verschiedene Frachten dienten.
Durch die Positionierung der Objekte im Raum und den Sound, der an die Geschichte der Industrialisierung und der Frachtgeschichte erinnert, werden die verschiedenen Zeitschichten im Raum nebeneinander erlebbar.

독일 프랑크푸르트 근교에 위치한 이드슈타인시의 전(前) 화물창고는 2014년부터 Kulturbahnhof Idstein (이드슈타인 문화역)로 리모델링하여 문화행사 장소로 사용되고 있다.
이 작품은 15분 오디오 드라마를 기반으로 Kulturbahnhof의 역사를 그린다. 이 오디오 드라마는 한때 다양한 유형의 화물을 보관하는 공간으로 사용되었던 Kulturbahnhof 홀의 설치 오브제와 함께 결합된다.
산업화의 역사와 화물의 역사를 방불케 하는 공간 속 사물의 배치와 소리는 공간 속 서로 다른 시간의 층위를 나란히 체험할 수 있게 한다.

The traces that have passed make traces that can pass"

leaving clouds in the sky."
