MOMENTUM

The characteristic geometric clarity and transparency of the converted hall of the Otto Beisheim School of Management were the starting point for the design of a steel sculpture.

The core values and visions of one of Germany's most renowned business schools – passion, innovation, courage and commitment – were to be incorporated and united in a work of art.

Curved lines and openness contrast with the right-angled concrete structure at the centre of the hall. Here, centred and yet full of dynamism, a figure moves with a powerful step forward into an uncertain future – floating, at the same time grounded and in balance. Balance as a state of the moment, which demands absolute presence, becomes a symbol of the fact that the future can only emerge from, and be shaped by, the present.
