NEW NOT NEW … endlessly repeatable words that create their own resonance. Visually, this echoes through the church tower and allows us to feel our shared history.

The history of this Gothic church illustrated by the placement of the letters on the youngest part of the architecture. Preserving and protecting, the wooden box wall closes the church tower today and thus highlights the breaks in our history.

In its loop-like nature, the lettering asks whether we learn from the past and use the experiences as a basis for our future actions.

Churches symbolize the power of cities, offer orientation to sailors and support to people. These forms of refuge have been needed throughout the centuries and therefore the church tower is also currently an embodiment of security.
In its incompleteness, it simultaneously visualizes the stability and fragility of this security.

With this he offers a wonderful translation of our exhibition theme TO ESCAPE and the pressing issues of our time - which the words NEW NOT NEW also express in their concentration.​
