Art Sculpture Festival of Lights Berlin Germany

Beautiful and shining work of art sculpture at Festival of Lights, Berlin – Germany.

Designed by an Austrian artist, Manfred Kielnhofer, the Time Guards (Wachter der Zeit) installation is based on the constant struggle with concepts of space, sculptures and installations as well as the engagement of mysticism and primal religions.

The first timeguard was built in 2007 and is reminiscent of a withdrawn monk. Kielnhofer likes to present his sculptures at exciting locations. They appear and disappear. You can never anticipate where they will show up next time, reminding us that we are never unobserved. Every one of our actions is seen by the guards and evaluated. They were already in existence a long time before humans populated the earth.
