Im Rahmen von ECHO ECHO, ein künstlerischer Parcours entlang von bestehenden Skulpturen im öffentlichen Raum.

I see Berlin’s Bundesplatz as a public sculpture. This space is characterized by a car-friendly urban design featuring a central underpass to ensure traffic flow remains unimpeded. Pedestrians access the U-Bahn and S-Bahn via underpasses. A small green traffic island remains as a place to linger amidst the noise of the big city. This urban structure is typical of the reconstruction in West Germany after World War II. The Phoenix sculpture by Bernd Wilhelm Blank on the square directly in front of the intersection addresses the new beginning after 1945. With my intervention “Stadtkörper,” I question the concept of an urban renewal that confronts residents, passersby, and non-human beings with enormous spatial tensions.


„it’s a play of forms, charming, quiet. hollow space here, filled space there. You walk through the underpasses, along walls and corners, down stairs, up escalators. You barely pay attention to it, you only want to get from A to B, you switch off all feeling, don’t want to see anyone, smell anything, taste anything."
