»Wandel ohne Wachstum« (Change without growth), German Pavillon at the Architecture-Biennale Venice, 1995.
The photo shows the main hall with the installation of a large white wave which curves over a black block of earth. Topic of the exhibition was the transformance of an industrial landscape (by the example of the Ruhr district) into a new network out of nature, work, living and spare time. No hard cuts but gentle transitions should be found.
The main hall was conceived as an eye-catcher. In all other rooms the topic was
shown on single examples.

»Berlin–Berlin«, Martin-Gropius-Bau, Berlin 1987.
View into the central air well. Remember the famous 20s by night as a large walkable model. Fritz Lang's »Metropolis« rises up again. The bright, pulsating big city as a film studio, laboratory, building site and scene of 'wild life'.

»Prometheus, Menschenbilder zwischen Ideal und Wirklichkeit« (Prometheus, human images between ideal and reality)
The large exhibition was produced 1998 as a multimedia event at the Völklinger Hütte (Saarbrücken). There were practically no original objects but photos, slides, films, reproductions and dupes.
After the enormous success in Germany the exhibition was invited to Tel Aviv, Israel. Especially here the unusual picture combinations (Jesus–Batman, Madonna–Madonna) could unfold their provoking strength. Many Israelian people were indignant. Even a demand to the Knesset, to close down the exhibition was submitted. Instead of closing down the exhibition it was extended for two months.
To show the Prometheus project in Singapore had failed after a large interest has been shown in the beginning.
The photo shows a plaster copy of a classical Hercules figure. Behind it a large
film projection runs: the skyline of Frankfurt with an in-installed scrolling text
on which the names of modern heroes appear.
