As a site of withdrawal (if we take the lean-to ladder into the interior of the tower) this little construction by Alfonso Hüppi fits into the series of sculptures that thematise coupling and courting behaviours and the tension between the sexes. At the same time, though, the tower, with its dark ravens, is also a monument of mourning. It is reminiscent of the motto that is written in large letters at the entrance to the Giardino: »Hic terminus haeret« – »Here stands the terminus«, although Daniel Spoerri prefers to translate the term »terminus« with »boundary« or »transition«.
