tiger and turtle vs. the zoom

duisburg, magic mountain, 2017

the mechanic

works in essen, ruhr.

artifact

the landschaps-zonneproject by piet slegers, 1979

kugeln

this is a detail of a sculpture in berlin tiergarten. it was part of the internationale bauaustellung 1957 and has no name. the artist on the other hand does have a name: hans uhlmann

kugeln is balls in english.
