Everything is in motion, the future is uncertain, man does not stand still. The view through the telescope falls on new planets, on huge satellites and an all-seeing eye. The story cannot be stopped and the red thread is now pulled by machines and flying objects. The limits of what is conceivable and feasible are repeatedly explored and shifted. Longing and hope remain, the search for a new and better world is omnipresent. Only in community can the individual get there - so together and with united forces a gigantic ladder must be climbed.

The mural ensemble "Balanceakt" was painted in 2018 and 2019 as part of the renovation in Voßstraße - a neighborhood that highlights contrasts.

In the immediate vicinity of the Francke Foundations education and science center, socialist prefabricated buildings meet historic half-timbered houses here, main traffic axes meet trampling paths, and extensive visual axes meet crooked alleyways. The history depicted on the walls is derived from the Voßstraße quarter itself and is creatively embodied by its residents. At two block parties, residents recreated various constellations of figures, which were photographed and integrated into the facade designs. The residents now recognize themselves in the images and identify with the artwork, the motifs and the unique design of their neighborhood.
