KÜSTER COLLECTION
EARTH IMAGES

In the areaway of the foreign office at the Werderscher Markt in Berlin 250 pictures of EARTH soar free in space. The pieces were produced with SOIL from 250 different sites, from every continent on EARTH.
In this installation the EARTH has been removed from its usual environment into the air – a foreign element. The attention of the observer will be directed upwards, away from the EARTH – making a clear view of new dimensions possible and at the same time offering a chance to think afresh about the EARTH as a planet, as an element and as fertile SOIL.

Arrow marks on the line refers to the both churches also when they not in the range of vision of the observer.
