Relationship to the Building


Blücher GmbH is located on the grounds of the "Brügger
Mühle", a former paper mill from the halcyon days of German industrialisation.
It consists of a complex of several buildings, which were built one by one, and that have now been converted for new purposes, such as offices, laboratories, production halls etc.

To this I have added just one small building - a "Room of Silence",a walk-in sculpture with monochrome wall drawings.

To my mind, we all need art, the Other, in order to live.

I wanted to create an artwork that can be "used" by lots of people, that is a part of their lives and is experienced forever anew.

So now the "Room of Silence" is there. The structure is located away from the hustle and bustle, on the edge of Neander Valley, at a spot where once a sewage plant made this beautiful spot inaccessible.

One can see it from the factory grounds, but to reach it one must first make a decision and follow a small path leading through a flowering meadow.

The room is open to the public.
