Finnischer Granit Gespalten

Feel the texture of that rough granite beneath your fingertips? What you're looking at isn't just a piece of rock; it's a conversation between humanity and nature. This granite, originating from Finland, was split by Ulrich Rückriem in 1992, carefully placed here for you to ponder. Look around — the Goethe-Institut stands right behind you, and the Klinikum Großhadern subway station is just a stone's throw away. Rückriem wanted us to see the natural process of splitting as art. Imagine the artist himself striking the stone with powerful blows to achieve this perfect division. It's an invitation to hear the sound of nature echoing in the quiet of the city.
