Street Art Cities

Artwork painted on a boiler-house building and inspired by the surrounding trees and a nearby school, portrays her own children and nieces while capturing the beauty of blooming branches. The mural also features fragments of the poem “Lied vom Kindsein” (”Song of Childhood”) by Peter Handke:

„When the child was a child

It walked with its arms swinging,

wanted the brook to be a river,

the river to be a torrent,

and this puddle to be the sea.

When the child was a child,

it didn’t know that it was a child,

everything was soulful,

and all souls were one.

… it had no opinion about anything,

had no habits,

it often sat cross-legged,

took off running,

had a cowlick in its hair,

and made no faces when photographed.

It was the time for these questions:

Why am I me, and why not you?

Why am I here, and why not there?

When did time begin, and where does space end?

Is life under the sun not just a dream?”
