Piece of "The Wall" No. 60 Sculpture

Weight-based Art 1€/g Weight: 9.4 kg THE WALL "I have built a GREAT GREAT Wall, and like all walls, they are meant to be written and painted on, and one day to be broken.” For the 30th anniversary of the Fall of the Berlin Wall, Adrian Luz designed a brutal installation. It was on view the whole year at the Benhadj & Djilali Gallery declared Museum for this purpose. Inspired by the border wall between Mexico and the United States, Adrian Luz has built a large 3D wall at the Benhadj & Djilali Museum in Berlin. ​ In the most immediate way, the work confronts visitors with the physical reality of closed borders: one has to use physical effort to climb over or through the installation in order to at all enter the space. ​ Visually, "The Wall" looks like a space-filling graphic sculpture, yet through the physical participation it tells in an almost performative way of cruelly exercised power relations - but of the subtle and individual possibilities to overcome or also undermine them! ​ The welded-in-place, metal sculpture allows, in the widest sense, the creative maneuvering in the personal search for one’s own happiness within a superimposed system. Pieces of "The Wall" are now being sold to fund the next step of the project in Tijuana, to illuminate the Border Wall between Mexico and the United States.
