CUBES II
The air is afire, the earth is shaking,
A crack crawls deeply beneath our feet.
One circle is closing, the next in the making,
A clockwork drums to an eternal beat.

About this series:
“Cubes II” explores the phenomenon of history repeating itself. More than ever before, parallels to historical events can currently be drawn. More than ever before, our world appears unstable and fragile. And more than ever before, we need to learn from our past and use these insights to better deal with global crisis and shape a sustainable future.
All nine images from “Cubes II” draw their inspiration from different periods of history. Within identically shaped, cubic rooms, the architecture from notable historic buildings as well as significant events are picked up and reinterpreted. These Cubes, which were all built as miniature sets, thus serve as an allegory of our past and possible future times. Visually they are connected by a crack running through the walls of the rooms representing the fragility of the world we currently live in.
