'Rotes Schauspielhaus' by Paolo Chiasera is a transitory piece, and this book documents the various sequences and connects their contents. Chiasera begins with a sculpture for the Rosa-Luxemburg-Platz in Berlin-Mitte, that refers to the work of the architect Hans Poelzig, whose residential apartment blocks surround the square. He reconstructed the grandiose light columns from the demolished Großes Schauspielhaus in wood, cardboard and styrofoam. This sculpture stood for three months on a small green plot, amidst the residential housing estate. In the course of time it decayed rapidly due to the influence of wind, weather and mere vandalism. From the remains, Chiasera realized a small picture, an iron-oxide version of a photograph of a bright, slightly cloudy sky.
