The Art of unionität

Michael Dreher

Die Notrufsäule

For those who are ready to embark on the unknown.

„Think. Love. Clouds. Souls."

In the center of the European Promise square stands a call-out pole that has given up its original function. Whoever presses the button here does not trigger an alarm — but a moment of contemplation.

It is an invitation to pause for a moment and to heed the message of Isaak Dentler: a plea for the courage to leave the safe shore and endure uncertainty instead of seeking quick answers.

True vitality often begins only where routine ends.

„Thinking as the foundation. Loving as the driving force. The clouds as freedom. The souls as what holds us together.“

A Closer Look at the Work

Michael Dreher has transformed the obsolete emergency call pillar into a play — with a text by Isaak Dentler. Four terms mark the pillars of an inner map on its pages: Thinking, Loving, Clouds, Souls.

Anyone who takes the time to listen will discover: Sometimes no alarm is needed. Sometimes a lever is enough.
