      ab: The article examines the historical and ethical implications of gas chambers, particularly in the context of the Holocaust, and how they have been represented in art and media. Initially developed for pest control, gas chambers evolved into tools of mass execution during the Nazi regime, targeting not only Jews but also other marginalized groups. The piece discusses the challenges artists face in representing the "unrepresentable" nature of these atrocities, highlighting various artistic approaches, including inner-chamber perspectives that evoke the experiences of victims and survivors. It also explores how contemporary artists engage with the legacy of gas chambers, using both historical imagery and performative practices to provoke reflection on memory, trauma, and the ongoing impact of these events.
