Swedish artist Karl Holmqvist began the processual, site-specific artwork Existential Staircase / Existenzielles Treppenhaus of the Fridericianum in the building's stairway. Written in black marker up and down the stairwell are the Five Ws: "WER!!?," "WANN!!?," "WAS!!?," "WO!!?," and "WARUM!!?" or "WHO!!?," "WHEN!!?," "WHAT!!?," "WHERE!!?," and "WHY!!?" The questions, written in capital letters and arranged individually or in groups, dominate the side and front walls of the staircase as well as the landings.
