The star sculpture
Two steel five pointed stars (pentagrams) of the same size are placed
so that the four points of their bases form a quadrangle and the two
points at the top are touching. The result is a “pyramidal star”.
Stars of various sizes can be used. In the centre of the start sculpture
there is a “magic stone” that serves as a symbolic store
for wishes, messages and stories.
Idea
The idea is the creation of a stellar constellation on earth.
It symbolises the peaceful contact and exchange between cultures.
Aims
A Worldstar can be erected at practically any location. There are
no rules defining the selection of a location – they are chosen
in a living cooperative process. When a large number of Worldstars
have been erected across the globe, connecting and uniting the countries
with their cultural diversity, a “we-feeling “ will result.
The aim is to involve economically and socially weak countries, marginalized
groups and minorities, providing mutual support and opportunities
for learning from one another. “Rich” and “poor”
are relative terms.
„First, second, third world – together we are one!“
Worldstar – hotspots
Worldstar hotspots are locations that touch the heart, crying out
for attention. These are locations where people provide help, working
to improve the health, education and development of the underprivileged.
With a Worldstar installation at these locations we will be able to
give aid projects in these areas an international stage.
Hotspots don’t just occur in the so called poor countries but
in any small town you care to mention, literally “next door”.
Reason enough to provide assistance and integration with “Worldstar
events”, even here, on your own doorstep.
The travelling Worldstar wish book
As soon as the first star has been erected, people will have the opportunity
to write down their wishes in the public wish book. The artist, acting
as an ambassador, will travel with the book, presenting it to the
people at the next Worldstar site.
