KNOWN UNKNOWN is a political art installation examining the continuity of right-wing violence in Germany and the failures of state institutions in the NSU case. 

Combining archival material, testimony, narration, and digital visualisation, the work traces contradictions and unresolved questions surrounding the NSU investigations. Centring the perspectives of survivors and relatives, it exposes gaps in the official investigation and names those who contributed to the NSU’s existence—through action, complicity, or neglect.

A 3D installation visualises the NSU’s support network as a multidimensional web, revealing the extensive system of neo-Nazi structures, informants, state agencies, and societal indifference that sustained it.

Together, the sound and visual components form a complete narrative. The network begins to speak once given a voice. KNOWN UNKNOWN rejects the idea of closure. Instead, it calls for active engagement through the interplay of voice, silence, space, and visualisation.
