‘Alles Schwamm’
‘Alles Schwamm’

A quotation from German philologist, Victor Klemperer’s ‘LTI (Lingua Tertii Imperii)’ (below) written in German and English onto a maquette of the benches of the UK House of Commons and smeared with brown sauce.

‘I tried to get a grip on these models, a task which was in some respects extremely simple, since everything that was printed or spoken in Germany was standardized to conform to the official party line; anything which deviated in any way from the accepted pattern did not make it into the public domain; books, newspapers, official communications and forms issued by administrative departments all swam in the same brown sauce, and it was the absolute uniformity of the written language which explained the homogeneity of the spoken language’.
