At the entrance of the subway/underground station Stadtgarten, artist Tom Fecht installed the project 'Names and Stones' in 1995. Since then, Dortmund has a place of remembrance of people that died of AIDS. The spot of the installation - in the very centre of Dortmund - is passed by many people every day. AIDS is and stays "visible". AIDS has a public address. AIDS is not silenced.
In the past years, the installation has twice been complemented with additional stones. Especially in the course of the annual World AIDS Day, this place is used as a space for remembrance of the deceased.
