Social Sculptures in preparation
Our social sculptures are internationally positioned. Three projects in Lebanon, Indonesia and Benin are in the preparation and networking phase.
Please hold the line | Lebanon
At four different places in Lebanon a long table will be staged in public. A white tablecloth is used to set the table and lunch is served to different ethnic and religious groups, some of whom are hostile. How does the food of the others taste like? Beirut, Bakaa, Tripoli and Tyros are home to strong contrasts, ranging from wealth to a refugee camp – everyday racism causes people to gape further apart. The very same tablecloth travels to all places on our journey and serves as a canvas for the different scenarios.
Our little plastic secret | Indonesia
It has been many years overdue to clear countless beaches worldwide of rubbish. But how can we achieve a change in people’s awareness so that they do it voluntarily?
Plastic is produced in the most beautiful colors from which sculptures can be made. In addition, well pre-sorted plastic is a valuable raw material that can even be converted back to oil or gasoline, kerosene and diesel. This social sculpture will cooperate with a partner who has expertise in recycling plastic into oil.

Welcome back! | Benin
On the beach of Ouidah, a town in Benin, stands the “Gate of No Return”. The door is a memorial arch for enslaved Africans* and symbolizes the transposition of countless destinies to America from this point. During the “Welcome back!” project week ancestors* will be welcomed back to Benin’s beach. Transparent doors and gates will be set up to allow the return ceremonially.
