Der Friedhofszwang is a law which dictates the mandatory cemetery burial of all deceased in Germany, preventing the spreading of ashes and thus inhibiting the rights of the individual’s choice in what happens to their body after death. In conjunction and solidarity with the growing movement pushing the government to alter the law, The Loophole Cemetery provides a legal loophole, allowing for the effective spreading of ashes back to German nature via a connection to the river Spree which runs through Berlin. This is achieved through induced flooding, which washes away the ashes of the deceased that have been ‘buried’ in Ashcrete brick sculptures in the burial courtyard.
