Updating Germany - Projects for a Better Future, German contribution to the 11th International Architecture Exhibition at the Venice Biennale 2008.

"The world is in imbalance - economically, ecologically and socially. Architecture and urban development cannot save the world - but they can make a difference in their own way"

There are no simple instructions and no clear answers on how to achieve a better future - all we can say for sure is that the world we are living in is out of balance. This position was chosen as the departure point for the exhibition design and as a consequence the physical element of a giant out-of-balance mobile was chosen as a carrier of the content. Exhibition graphics were likewise put on loose cardboards piled up as islands.
