Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Tresholds, 1999
Nonetheless, the essays gathered here are not strictly about the invisible. Resorting to a dictionary, I find two meanings for invisible: incapable by nature of being seen or inaccessible to view.
Of the manuscripts available to me as I write this note, I find only two essays that touch on each of these definitions, and then not solely on these definitions. Francesca Rogier, when discussing the Schloss in Berlin, refers to a destroyed building that nonetheless is significant in the memory of many. It is so much incapable by nature of being seen that in the struggle for preferred memories in central Berlin it was reinvoked by a simulacrum and this with the intent to thrust the People's Palace of the German Democratic Republic into just such a state of invisibility.
