DER GESELLSCHAFTSKEIL

--------------------------------
Sculpture (2009)
--------------------------------

"The Societywedge" is an installation for the public space. It is a kind of reference system which organize the society in itself.
It is labeled with the words "Opfer" and "Täter", which means "Victim" and "Offender".
How do people react when they passing the Societywedge? How do they perceive it? Change it their way or do they arrange themselves to one of the two groups? A brief dispersal which in the longer term lead the society back to its origin.
By splitting the two groups, a social behavior is demonstrated, that generally is not visible. Two possible directions are defined, which mix up again to the total sum behind the Gesellschaftskeil. Thus, it is an intersection and an analog interface of the society.
