WE ARE STILL AND REFLECTIVE by MARTIN BOYCE, MUNSTER, GERMANY, 2007
The unimpressive square in the former zoo site is covered with poured concrete slabs. 13 shapes form a pattern which has been adopted by the artist from French sculptors Jan and Joel Martel. The latter designed abstract concrete trees in the 1920s, presenting a “perfect unity of architecture and art” in Boyce’s opinion. Select interspaces of the concrete slabs were inlaid with brass strips made by the Scottish sculptor to form letters: We are still and reflective, as says the lettering. Being aware of the message set in the ground fills the desolate place with emotion and meaning.
