“Rot in Peace” tries to call attention to the situation of destruction of unique and beautiful buildings and consequently our history due to greed of gain.

Pieces are collected from the wreckage and transformed into objects of daily use. Their arresting and surprising character comes through the ironic and metaphorical way of using them.

1892/93 the Weingärtenschule was founded as Volksschule am Böllbergerwege”. 1985 it was transformed into the “Centre for fine arts of Halle”, nowadays known as the ”Künstlerhaus 188”, after been used temporarily as a elementary school and polytechnic highschool. It consists of not only ateliers for artist, but also countless stories. With my piece I would like to call attention on the upcoming demolition. A part of a supporting beam is being used as a plaque. Conveniently there can be tissues pulled out of a desiccation crack. Very useful for blowing your nose and drying your tears while grieving.
