Made during the Goethe-Institut NORDIC Leipzig residency in 2023, ‘Kuhturm’ is a reinterpretation of a medieval tower that stood in Leipzig until it was destroyed to make way for an exhibition, in the 1930s, that never happened.

“In his playful take on Leipzig’s iconic eight-sided Kuhturm building, the artist reimagines the Medieval-era tower as a sunlit, porous structure that evokes both a children’s playing block set and a medieval military fortification in miniature that invites you to approach. In his play with scale, where he creates something poised between a larger-than-life playing block set and a building shrunk down to human size, he takes you on a whimsical journey through layers of urban history, time, and space.”
