Schluesselgewaltspirale (The key to the spiral of violence)

Police HQ Recklinghausen 2003
Granite bench, 500 steel cases inside filled with the potential of violence in town

In front of a new building hosting the police cafeteria and headquarters an 86 meter long spiral stone case was built. With the police public relations office and in cooperation with over 60 schools in the area we collected people’s belongings which related in some way or other to the theme of violence: CDs, Videos, weapons, munitions, war toys etc. 500 boxes were filled, locked up and sealed in this spiral stone bench forever.
