Gaudiopolis - State of joy in progress (2023/2024)

Based on the idea of the story of Gaudiopolis (https://gaudiopolis.at/geschichte/) in Hungary, the song was written (not yet published in 2021). It's about having a home and being able to shape it in a self-determined way. The idea and the song were created before Russia's war against Ukraine. Unfortunately, this terrible example shows how close we are to it again and how "not self-evident" it is to have a safe home, even from our elitist point of view. That is why it is now all the more important to draw attention to this by using this positive example of 'Gaudiolopis'.

A safe home is something that every person in the world should have and we should stand up for it. 


Sculpture made of stainless steel/aluminium (weather resistance still to be checked), which is painted "live" with colours. A drone flight documents the process. The painting takes exactly the length of the song. Painting substrates, which form the base of the sculpture, will also be available for sale as works of art due to the dripping of the paints. Symbolically, these paper formats stand as part of a safe to house. The sculpture, a "safe place", a personal object, will also be offered for sale. A suitable partner/museum is still being sought.

The sculpture will not only be a sign of remembrance of 'Gaudiopolis', but also a symbol of the importance of safe homes worldwide.
