Im Hintergrund sind mosaikartige Muster und abstrakte Figuren zu erkennen. Das Werk spielt mit Licht, Farbe und Transparenz und erzeugt je nach Blickwinkel unterschiedliche visuelle Eindrücke.

The former East City Centre is particularly rich in architecture-related artworks. At the time of their installation, these works engaged with the contemporary visions of the city and art. Today, they form part of a heritage that is being preserved, ignored, restored, altered and expanded.

The tour examines the works and the surrounding urban fabric in their historical context and critiques them from a contemporary perspective, with a focus on the changing role of art in the urban environment.
