Potsdam is famous for the palace of Sanssouci, which also happens to be the namesake of the Sydney suburb ‘Sans Souci’. The name is adorned in large brass letters over the entrance of the palace. Whilst the direct translation in French is “without worries”, in Sydney it has been casually misinterpreted to accomodate for the popular Australianism “no worries”. The piece is installed on a crumbling archway above the gallery entrance. Installed as part of Unboxing Bauhaus at Kunstraum Potsdam, Germany.
