Colored Concrete

45,5 x 45,5 x 2,5cm - 100 pieces

(2021)

This permanently integrated artwork consists of 100 concrete bas-reliefs in 5 different colours. These reliefs consist of two categories: 40 elements that show a composition of toy blocks and 60 solid elements. All 100 elements have an identical L-shape, so they can be combined endlessly as a wallpaper template can.

These reliefs are installed either alone or combined to form small to large murals. These murals can be found throughout the whole building, on the walls of the meeting rooms, stairwells, the shared kitchens and hallways – each in their own, unique configuration. Some compositions are displayed in plain sight, while others are hidden in more subtle places – to accidentally be discovered as one explores the building.

During a workshop in June 2021, both residents and employees got the opportunity to make their own composition in wooden blocks. All these designs were integrated in the final concrete compositions.
