"I allow the roofs to roam into my pictures", says the Leipzig-based artist when asked about the significance of this location. The lorbeer LITUM deck has been installed using a stepped design in order to compensate for the unevenness of the old factory roof. Chives and elderberries used to blossom here until the birch trees took over on the lower floors and the small rooftop garden had to make way. A wooden terrace was installed here in order to compensate for this. "It went the way of everything down below on the ground, became rotten, was barely possible to walk on and it was simply no longer safe. So I turned to megawood® for help", says Neo Rauch. "The product itself really appeals to me because it's not trying to be a **vegan sausage.** It's simply something that cannot really be defined. It's unique. It's not wood, it's not stone and it's not plastic... it's hard to find a word to describe it. But it definitely feels good." Neo Rauch uses his head and gut feeling to make decisions, although he believes that gut feelings are “ultimately closer to the truth." The **special feel** of the material convinced him. Thanks to its specific composition, the megawood® material develops a pleasant, unique surface. In contrast to coated materials, the integrity of the product can be felt. The close connection of the Leipzig artist with everything associated with nature is not only reflected in his pictures. His garden and the "workshop-terraces" surely represent poles which he moves between. A narrow path allows him to move to the adjacent area that his wife uses to work. They visit each other to look over the city's old coffee mill roofs. The next purchase for the roof terrace will be an awning. However, there are currently none in the megawood® range.
