VESUNA tower. The walk-in light sculpture was realized without commission and without public funds, exclusively through payments in kind and cash from sponsors and helpers of the region (worth approx. 125,000 euros). As a sign of Franco-German friendship, the joint project VESUNA-TURM was handed over to the cities of Périgueux and Amberg as a gift on April 19, 1996.
