AUGENBLICK (MOMENT) is written on the roof of the workshop building of the prison in offenburg. If one looks out of the window, also at roof level, of the visitors and administration building, one can see the wordsculpture against the broad sweep of the black forest. The gleaming surface of the letters reflects moment by moment the events and the people in the rooms across the way. The visiting situation is a quite special moment for the prisoners and their families. With augenblick (the moment), this emotional moment is given particular attention and tribute is paid to its significance. However, above and beyond the here and the now, there are two essential moments in the life of a prisoner: that of the deed and that of being set free into the landscape lying behind the word.
