Berlin, March 2008
These faces are from an exhibit called "Fallen Leaves," or "Shalechet," by Israeli artist Menashe Kadishman. There are over 10,000 faces coarsely cut from iron - visitors walk over the faces, which clang together with an awful noise that reverberates through a series of empty rooms. It was one of most profound experiences in the museum, if not all of Berlin.
