'Walhalla' refers to the mythical place in Norse mythology, a paradise for those slain in battle, as well as to the Walhalla neo-classical monument, built by Ludwig I of Bavaria in 1842 to honour heroic figures in German history. Throughout his career, Kiefer has interwoven themes of politics and landscape and revisited imagery and symbolism through different forms and media, resonating with the idea of history as one continuous cycle.
