Silke often works on-side in artistic research projects. The latest example is her research in the former and almost abandoned village Manheim, the last village to be evicted in the area around the open pit mining Hambach. In August 2023, three to four parties still live in the village of which nearly nothing remains today. Over the last couple years, Manheim has almost been fully erased to the ground.
