"Can you imagine that first glimpse? What Gertrude Stein is saying, strip away all memory, all presumption and see this rose, smell it, touch it, taste it if you will and if you are very lucky listen carefully and hear each petal move....and this first time, this first experience is and is and is and is." Lisa Perry on Quora.

Laowa C-Dreamer 7.5mm F/2
What might look like a somewhat misplaced, chaotic building site in front of a modern building is actually a sculpture: "Raumlabyrinth / BFD bündig fluchtend dicht (flush aligned impervious)" by German artist Franka Hörnschemeyer. You can find it in one of the northern courtyards of the Paul-Löbe-Haus, a parliamentary building in Berlin's government district.
The sculpture is made of iron lattice walls, and the artist intended to reinterpret a playful garden maze. Here's a link with more info on artist and sculpture where you can also see a capture of the sculpture taken from above:

Seen from above, the idea of a garden labyrinth becomes more obvious than when standing directly in front of it. From my position right in front of it did look like a labyrinth to me, but an impenetrable, repellent one. My first thought, especially in this place, was that this sculpture represents the construction of power, hence the caption.

Since there are quite a few windows in the picture (and some people at work behind the windows as well), this is also for Window Wednsday. HWW, and Happy Hump Day!
Die Konstruktion der Macht
Was für viele wie eine etwas deplazierte, chaotische Baustelle vor einem Neubau wirken mag, ist eigentlich Kunst: die Skulptur "Raumlabyrinth / BFD bündig fluchtend dicht" von Franka Hörnschemeyer. Die Skulptur befindet sich in einem der nördlichen Höfe des Paul-Löbe-Hauses (einem Funktionsgebäude des Deutschen Bundestags). Hörnschemeyer hat mit ihrer aus Eisengitterwänden - Schalelementen für den Betonguss - bestehenden Arbeit die Idee eines verspielten Gartenlabyrinths aufgegriffen. Besser sichtbar wird dies von oben betrachtet: www.bundestag.de/besuche/kunst/kuenstler/hoernschemeyer/h....
Wenn man direkt davor steht, wirkt die Skulptur - finde ich - zwar durchaus wie ein Labyrith, aber ein sehr undurchdringliches und sogar abweisendes. Und eben auch wie eine Baustelle. Mein erster Gedanke, besonders auch an diesem Ort, dem "Herzen der Macht", war daher auch, dass diese Skulptur die Konstruktion der Macht darstellt.
