The glass elevator at the luxurious hotel Marriott Marquis in New York brings you to "heaven" ... We are brought up and tought to strive for higher things – success, wealth, honour, and/or spiritual enlightenment. ASCENSION shows – in a brief and ironic way - this aspiration and its compensation.

Der gläserne Aufzug im New Yorker Luxus-Hotel Marriott Marquis fährt direkt "in den Himmel"... Wir werden dazu erzogen, nach Höherem zu streben – nach Ehre, Erfolg, Reichtum und/oder geistlichen Weihen. ASCENSION stellt dieses Streben und seine (Ersatz-) Befriedigung kurz und ironisch dar.
