Four figures in the waves of a novel. To confuse the station guards at Stuttgart-Stammheim, Gudrun Ensslin gave herself and the other RAF prisoners code names from Herman Melville\u2019s Moby Dick. Andreas Baader became \u201cAhab\u201d; Holger Meins, \u201cStarbuck\u201d; Jan-Carl Raspe, \u201cZimmermann\u201d [Engl. \u201cCarpenter\u201d]; while Ensslin called herself \u201cSmutje\u201d [Engl. \u201cCook\u201d]. Brigitte Waldach\u2019s triptych, \u201cDie Welle (Moby Dick)\u201d \/ \u201cThe Wave (Moby Dick),\u201d is composed with four different shades of blue that correspond to the figures floating on the tide: Meins is light blue, Raspe, medium blue, Baader is cobalt blue, Ensslin is dark Prussian blue. The left side is filled primarily with quotes from Moby Dick, while the middle and right parts of the triptych contain statements by the four individuals as well as witness reports about them. The strands of red words on the bodies themselves describe characteristics that Gudrun Ensslin used, in the language of Melville, to describe the RAF members. Ensslin herself swims in a red quote by Heiner Mu\u0308ller: \u201cThe history of the RAF was a single racing monologue,\u201d which leads to a statement made by Ensslin: \u201cDestruction appears as self-destruction.\u201d<\/p>\n
