Monuments can be seen as a material manifestation of the collective memory. In public spaces we remember, warn, mourn and pass history on to the next generations to come. Every generation chooses what to add and what to erase from this material public discourse. But who said, that monuments are only about the past? Can there be monuments that bring the past and the present together? The Streetunivercity-Team created an obelisk (one of the very traditional shapes) and gave it a new garment! Colonial Past meets current consumer behaviour and globale trading.
