    The location is Domplatz, Münster. The Place is the reconstructed wall at the west wing of the Dome. This was the previous entrance of the Dome before it was destroyed in the way. It does not have an entrance any more but has twelve large windows forming a circle and four smaller windows in the middle all making up the 'rose window'. The twelve windows are so located that they are perfectly fit to form the outer circle of a clock. I proposed to put two hands in the middle-an hour and a minute hand. The hands would be of equal length and bisecting each other from the middle like a cruz quadrata-an abstract cross. 'The Clock' would function and show the right time, would change every minute and give a different viewing point of 'The Cross'. Perspective will change not only by the positioning of the person looking at ti but by time as well.

    This project was made for Sculptur Projecte 1997/Münster and rejected by the Dome.
