Gravestone made of Dietenhan sandstone

Dietenhaner Sandstone

40cm × 35cm × 18cm

Cemetery St. Philippus Apostel, Berlin (2024)

Concept and Execution: Laura Jatkowski

This gravestone is for the versatile artist and publisher Dietmar Kirves, who was active in the fields of film, photography, music, sculpture and painting. In his office, he had many binders, which he did not label traditionally, but with symbols of his own invention. One symbol that kept coming up was a figure holding up a piece of paper that looked like a plea. We chose to bring together this symbol and the computer font Arial in the middle of the stone.
