11. Sheet D 1973 - 1975

Curator: This is "11. Sheet D" by Gerd Winner. Look at the sheer scale. It's incredibly imposing. Editor: Yes, there's something isolating about it, too. That enormous wall seems to be almost pressing down on the road. It makes me think about surveillance, of borders and division. Curator: Winner’s works often focus on urban environments. This piece, though, feels almost devoid of human presence. The hard lines, stark colours, what do you make of the composition? Editor: I see echoes of post-war alienation and urban planning. The lack of figures emphasizes the dehumanizing aspects of modern architecture and infrastructure. Curator: It invites us to consider the psychological impact of these built spaces on our lives. Editor: Absolutely. Thinking about how these spaces, so devoid of warmth, might shape individual experience and collective identity. Curator: Food for thought, indeed. Editor: A powerful comment on urban life.
