The strangers
Work of art embodies exclusion and lack of integration
A group of people and their luggage stand on the historic portico of the Rotes Palais with their eyes downcast: in the middle of the city and yet homeless, the "strangers" embody social exclusion and a lack of integration. In 1992, the artist Thomas Schütte set a critical example of social responsibility and tolerance. Since its installation, the sculpture group has become even more politically topical due to wars and the global refugee crisis.
