About the artwork

A monumental, rectangular structure rises up from a seemingly endless plateau of dunes and salt. Its centre section glows in intense shades of red and orange, reminiscent of the glow of an imminent sunset. This radiant colour surface arches into the interior, creating an exciting contrast to the side concrete surfaces in matt grey. The structure appears both simple and mysterious, as if an unknown civilisation had once erected it to mark a special passage into another world.

An almost lifeless plain stretches out around it, its cracked surface bearing witness to the persistent dryness. The hills in the distance seem strangely unreal, almost as if they could shimmer in the heat or be lost in the twilight. The sky glows in intense shades of yellow and orange, gradually turning into a deep dark blue. In this dramatic colouring, a bright moon orbits the firmament, seemingly half obscured by passing clouds.

The combination of the warm nuances and the strict linearity of the cuboid creates an attractive field of tension. The sharp contours of the construction divide the space into different levels, while the viewer's eye involuntarily wanders back and forth between the horizon, the building and the iridescent sky. Although no human life is visible, one senses an atmosphere of vibrating silence in which every sound would penetrate the expanse. The glowing gate seems to be a threshold: Those who step through could find themselves in a completely new dimension or perhaps just feel the muted heat on their skin - a sensual mystery in the realm of the setting sun.
