Die Alte Mauer

An exhibition space featuring a large, angular white structure positioned centrally, creating two narrow passageways on either side. A red and yellow industrial lifting device hangs from the ceiling, suspended a scale one part salt one part sand. Recessed ceiling lights evenly illuminate the minimalist room, and a glimpse of another installation with vertical hanging strings is visible through the left passage.
