Time guards by Manfred Kielnhofer

The constant struggle with concepts of space, sculptures and installations as well as the engagement of mysticism and primal religions led Manfred Kielnhofer, the Austrian artist to create “timeguards.” He created the first timeguard in 2007.

Manfred Kielnhofer presents his sculptures at exciting locations. He says of the Time Guards, “They appear and disappear. You can never anticipate where they will show up next time, reminding us that we are never unobserved. Every one of our actions is seen by the guards and evaluated. They were already in existence a long time before humans populated the earth.”

The illuminations at last year’s event covered 19 buildings and 10 streets. This year, look for innovation as various light concepts illuminate Potsdamer Platz.

See the amazing Faces in the festival of lights in the video below.
