Neustadt
©Daniel Sadrowski
A total of 23 sculptures form a fictitious city composed of various real buildings that have been demolished in the Ruhr region since the turn of the millennium on a scale of 1:25.
The selection of building types and construction tasks did not follow a strict system, but rather aesthetic, sculptural criteria and the desire to show a cross-section of local urban development. The sculptural installation is deliberately integrated into the seemingly fallow landscape that was actually created as part of the IBA Emscher Park in the 1990s and thus reflects - in addition to remarkable shifts in scale - the relationship between nature and culture. “Neustadt” evokes numerous associations and memories and at the same time invites the viewer to explore both urban planning and ecological issues, which are also reflected in the transformation of the Ruhr area and the Emscher conversion.interventions form an equally hybrid landscape.
