Volksbegehren des Geistes
Demokratiskulptur aka Democratic Sculpture
Volksbegehren des Geistes is an ongoing conceptual work conceived as a Demokratieskulptur — a democratic sculpture in which public discourse, media reaction, approval and rejection become part of the artwork itself. Rather than ending with an object, the work unfolds through debate and collective response.
At the same time, it is structured as a triptych: three interconnected artistic acts that explore memory, public space, unfinished form and the question of whether society still has the courage to think beyond preservation. Each part stands on its own, yet gains fuller meaning within the larger whole.

Coronasäule
Coronasäule aka Corona column is a conceptual public monument proposal reflecting on collective memory, crisis and the question of what society chooses to commemorate. By proposing a new monument for the pandemic, the project turns remembrance itself into a field of debate and treats public reaction as part of the work.

Turmbau zu Wien
St. Stephens Tower is a conceptual proposal to rethink the unfinished state of St. Stephen´s Cathedral in Vienna. It is not intended as a literal building plan, but as a provocation about cultural courage, the unfinished and our capacity to continue thinking beyond preservation. This project forms part of Volksbegehren des Geistes.
