About this artwork
This work from my series "Cityscapes in minor key" depicts the high-rise bunker in Hamburg-St. Pauli, which has been given a "green crown" to revitalize and integrate it into the cityscape. Green roofs are considered an important approach to climate-adapted cities – true to Hundertwasser's demand to return the lost soil on the roof to nature.
What interests me, however, is the ambivalence: I show the raw and uncompromising nature that this building… absolutely refuses to relinquish, even with a bit of potted greenery. I deliberately leave the construction crane and scaffolding in the picture; they serve as a reminder that this project literally remains a construction site – an experiment, not a finished product. For me, this image tells the story of how the "urbs accommodata," the climate-adapted city, is permeated by internal contradictions, at least in its function and aesthetics.

Marcel van Beek works with photography, painting, and graphic design, drawing on his artistic background from his studies at the Alanus University of Art and Social Sciences. His technique combines pictorialist influences with romantic-symbolist imagery. His photographs embody contemporary fine art photography and conceptual photography, often featuring monochrome recolors in tertiary colors.
He creates a poetic visual language interested in forms and structures, combining this with a modern, conceptual approach that claims social relevance. In his works, he explores inner and outer landscapes, conveying feelings of longing and threat, as well as a fascination with the hidden. He has published various art publications (most recently "World of Water," 2025), which are represented internationally in academy and museum libraries (including Vienna, Basel, Düsseldorf, and Berlin).
