Shoe Installations A worn shoe has the presence of the person who wore them. A worn shoe can be both personal and universal. The ever changing styles of shoes are markers of time and history and also symbols of age, gender and culture. Shoes have long been a symbol of the Holocaust, and the photographs of mountains of shoes in the camps have been etched into our collective consciousness.
