A series of eighteen 20-meter-high steles, each precisely positioned and featuring a triangular base, runs along the perimeter boundary. The architectural intervention is legible from three different perspectives due to the shape and placement of its individual elements; depending on the viewpoint, a "screen" emerges with a graphic that spans across all the steles. Similar to low-resolution screens, the human eye merges the individual image points, blending the "pixels" into a unified motif. As a result, the viewer’s attention is immediately drawn to the installation itself, rather than to the buildings behind it.
