BANCA (Bus Station)
Waiting for Godot – or simply pausing to catch your breath? A deceptively real bus stop becomes a stage for urban poetry and quiet melancholy. Have a seat. It might just be worth the wait.

Waiting for Godot? Or just catching your breath for a moment?
Here you see an uncannily realistic bus stop. With sharp wit, urban flair, and a touch of melancholy, Franz Burkhardt invites you to pause. Take a seat, look around – sometimes it’s worth waiting. Sometimes it’s not.
