In Reconstruction of the Tower of Babel, Swiss artist Nikunja challenges the idea that a multitude of cultures and languages is an obstacle for reaching the truth. By inviting people all over the world to send a brick, on which they are encouraged to paint, write and decorate, Nikunja constructed a new tower of Babel. The new institution celebrates and affirms multiculturalism, multi-nationalism, multi-racism and mutli-ideologism, and gives its authority and ownership to each individual. In the artist's words, "... one actually needs the foreign, the unknown, existentially, to realise one's own Self. For at that moment, Love appears, Joy appears, unquestioned and beyond reason, as an existential fact."
