Photo @Gerd Ludwig. For @documenta14 the Argentinian artist Marta Minujín has reconstructed the Parthenon in its original size as a monument to censorship. Her monument is made of steel and plastic sheeting and dressed up with donated books that were once forbidden somewhere in the world, more than 120,000 titles. Even Harry Potter is amongst them. People are given the chance to donate forbidden books that will continuously be added to the Minujin’s Parthenon.

The original Parthenon was built in Athens between 447 and 442 BC. It is 10 meters high, 70 meters long and 30 meters wide. The temple was conceived to house a colossal gold statue of Athena, the goddess of wisdom.

Taking place every five years in Kassel, Germany, documenta is the world’s leading showcase of contemporary art. documentas allow the invited artists several years to conceive and produce projects specifically for this exhibit. They are on display in several indoor and outdoor locations for 100 days. Therefore documenta is referred to as the "museum of 100 days". The number of individual pieces of art has fluctuated between 450 and 2700. documenta14 is directed by Polish curator Adam Szymczyk. His selection of artists ‘is reclaiming the articulate and persuasive political voice for and of art in an unstable world’. documenta14 is expected to draw a record one million visitors.
