22. Artikel der Menschenrechte
22. Artikel der Menschenrechte stands in Nuremberg between the old and new buildings of the Germanisches Nationalmuseum. It forms part of Dani Karavan’s Way of Human Rights, an open-air sculpture linking Kornmarkt Street with the medieval city wall. White concrete pillars line the route, each carrying an article from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in German and another language.
The work combines a gate, twenty-seven round pillars, two buried pillars and a columnar oak. Each visible pillar rises eight metres high, measures eighty centimetres across and stands five metres from its neighbour. A glass-enclosed entrance faces a medieval gate, while monastery remains and Sep Ruf buildings connect the artwork with Nuremberg’s layered past. Two years bring the Nuremberg International Human Rights Award to this setting, where monumental form meets a lasting reminder of human rights.
