BETON Berlin

​

Located outside Berlin’s S-Bahn ring, between residential buildings and allotment gardens, a unique, brutalist concrete church from the 1960s stretches out as “a remembrance turned to stone.” Next to the architecture a sculptural site for interspecial diversity and cohabitation is installed: Set into an overlooked green side area, a model of the modernistic architecture is placed offering seeds and water to birds and other species. A flute concert invites birds to join the opening ceremony.

After a year the sculptural model has transformed into a fertile habitat for new observation.
