The installation designed by Vadim Zakharov commemorates the philosopher Theodor W. Adorno, one of the most important representatives of the so-called Frankfurt School of Critical Theory in the social sciences. The artist originally created the ensemble of desk with books and manuscripts, desk lamp and chair on a parquet floor and surrounded by a glass cube in 2003 for the Theodor-W.-Adorno-Platz in Bockenheim. The square and with it the memorial moved in 2016 to what is now the Westend campus of the Goethe University.
