- Other cities have realised the potential of a clean river against the backdrop of the consequences of climate change: After Paris, New York has announced that it will invest 60 million dollars in the New York Swims programme and recently London has also announced that it will be possible to swim in the Thames within 10 years. In this respect, the Flussbad project was and remains for me a project that could at least catapult the centre into the present, if not into the future, because in terms of urban development this is (unfortunately) generally taking place in other cities. I would like to remind Berlin of its modern past and encourage it to pick up where it left off. (This text has been automatically translated with DeepL.)
- Über das Werk: As a trained architect, I am used to imagining the world on plans, especially views from above. Some of my works reflect this view. "Views from above.". The picture is from this series. In my works, I often depict everyday objects and everyday situations that have a biographical reference. I myself grew up by natural bodies of water such as the Rhine or Lake Zurich and learnt to swim there. I have just as many memories of the garden swimming pool of my childhood, which was built in the modernist style (and is now a monument, of course). These memories have been processed in this picture. (This text has been automatically translated with DeepL.)
