Material: stone/ stainless steel
Location: The sculpture consists of six large stones in the area of the access path, foating overhead and carried by stainless steel cables attached to the walls and polished pillars. 

Each stone is hollowed out with the hole lined with polished stainless steel. The sky, the buildings and the surroundings will be distorted in the concave refection of the metal. The stones thus refect changes in the surroundings while the pillars refect both, the surroundings and also the observer. The stones will come from six continents, are different in colour and structure and will be quarried ecologically. Each one of the stones is a sedimentary stone showing the different layers of their development. The European stone from Rüdersdorf near Berlin symbolises historical building constructions here in Berlin. The sculpture offers space for passing through and for assemblies. From the front it appears monumental, from below light and changeable. It plays with balance and gravity, and breaks through what seems to be solid.

»The individual stones are in perfect balance with each other – the height, weight and angle of each stone override the gravity of the other stones. In close collaboration with a structural engineer, a balance is created within the sculpture, the structure of which appears aesthetically pleasing and ambivalently light.« The project addresses displacement, globalisation and colonialism showing integration and decolonisation in a multifaceted way.
