Sampling the Stasi with a GPS device in Berlin. Rimini Protokoll's 50 Aktenkilometer and the recent German past
chapter
posted on 2023-06-08, 20:38 authored by David BarnettThis essay considers Rimini Protokoll’s audio tour 50 Aktenkilometer (50 Kilometers of Files), a piece that allowed a mobile audience to listen to audio files about the East Ger-man Stasi while walking through the streets of Berlin-Mitte in 2011. The tour included a broad range of aural material, ranging from Stasi victims reading from files compiled about themselves in the German Democratic Republic (GDR), to authentic extracts from a Stasi telephone centre and interviews with those affected by the Stasi. The essay asks what the project and its diversity of documentary and first-hand sources sought to achieve with its use of its everyday ›experts‹, and whether its treatment of the Stasi as GDR institution could be considered politically problematic.
