Die Werft

The backdrop to the questions raised by Werft is most impressive. Enormous portal cranes can be seen moving slowly along rails set in a wooden deck which leads out towards the lake, like a ship raising anchor or a building that constantly provides new insights. Everything here is in the process of change. Everything harmonizes with everything else. Snow-covered summits against a blue sky, a proud Swiss flag. An inventory of military and civil security forces. Illegal transportation of people.

Or that game of monopoly which crossborder criminals play around money-laundering and terrorism. Werft identifies problem areas, not solutions. More importantly, it shows just how necessary it is to keep a close eye on your territory and makes it clear that security can only be achieved by means of international cooperation in all its different forms.
