Micha Ullman

Micha Ullman (Hebrew: מיכה אולמן; born 11 October 1939) is an Israeli sculptor and professor of art.

Ullman was born in Tel Aviv to German Jews who immigrated to Mandate Palestine in 1933.

[3] Ullman created the underground “Empty Library” memorial on Bebelplatz square in Berlin, where the Nazi book burnings began in 1933.

A bronze plaque bears a quote by Heinrich Heine: “Where books are burned in the end people will burn.”[4] This memorial was inaugurated in May 1995.

You could say that emptiness is a state, a situation formed by the sides of the pit: The deeper it is, the more sky there will be and the greater the void.
