In an interview with editor Matthias Winzen, Stephan Balkenhol discusses his latest work, "Balancing Act," created for the anniversary of German reunification. Balkenhol acknowledges the challenge of crafting a meaningful monument to commemorate German unity. Located in Berlin, near Checkpoint Charlie and the high-rise Springer Building, his sculpture features a man in a white shirt and black trousers balancing on a stylized piece of wall—a site rich with significance in post-war German history. The accompanying book details the development of this important work in the studio, offering an engaging overview of Berlin's historical landscape.
