The Soul of Kiel (7)


Mucking around some today after spending many stressful hours this weekend finishing an assignment in foreign working conditions. Note, I'm not behind my regular drawing table and tested computer this month.
So visited the east bank of the Kiel fjord, the area behind the wharves, to taste the atmosphere and look up some more bunkers. The sketches below are a result of things I noticed. The grafitti-covered bunker on the corner of Iltis and Preetzer Strasse, depicting scenes of war and uprising and the portrait of Rosa Luxemburg. My thoughts dwelled off... how would she feel about her face on 2 meter thick enforced concrete, spiked with telecom antennas? The other one an ancient factory building turned into restaurant/club, with the still functioning Thyssen-Krupp wharves nearby.
They are also style experiments for my final piece on Kiel.
One week of this residency has already passed, need to think about that.
