The eight meter high kinetic steel sculpture is open on all sides; inside, it displays an equally tall, slender steel needle turning smoothly on a disk, driven by solar cells on a pedestal.

Passersby are offered a chance to recall the eternal course of time - a chance to stop and meditate and experience a moment of calm and continuity in the big city.

The work expresses the artist´s personal perception, confirmed in recent years by many voices lamenting the fast pace of life in our epoch and the hectic, agitated life of Berlin particular since the events of 1989.
