Artists Moritz Fehr and Willy Sengewald went to Lagos in December 2016 and February 2017 to document the Independence Building, an abandoned high-rise structure in the city center. They conducted interviews and collected facts and stories on the history of the building. Senge- wald and Fehr will create an installation that resembles the iconic structure in stereoscopic 3D imagery and surround sound, focussing its importance for the history of the city of Lagos. As if the building was a silent observer, they will be addressing question to it. What are its memories? What did it encounter and observe during its almost 60 years of presence in Lagos? The con- ceptual approach of Fehr and Sengewald is to let the building tell its own story.
