Four years ago, Klara Lidén was nominated for the prize of the National Gallery in Berlin. On this occasion, she produced a work for the outdoor area of Berlin’s Hamburger Bahnhof, a yew hedge, trimmed to the contours of a dumpster. Since the yews in Berlin do not allow transplantation, a new yew hedge was planted here with the help of a Cologne landscape gardener, so that now the work is on show in a second version. At this site a container sculpture by Sofia Hultén had formerly stood for KölnSkulptur #6. Now in the exact same place, Klara Lidén’s work stands and in this way links visitors’ memories.
