Bridging the gap of war in Bosnia-Hercegovina: art & architecture

PEACE CONNECTION 3000, MOSTAR
(W.M. Pühringer)

Non-realized project of a bridging sculpture which tries to make destruction and re-connection visible: a critical supplement to the reconstruction of a fake medieval bridge which – notwithstanding its artisan virtuosity – can be seen as a cover-up of what happened during the war.

Peace Connection also evokes the Sarajevo project Radical Reconstruction by the American Lebbeus Woods; see the article in The New York Times on this visionary of architecture, and Wood´s homepage.
