Background
“Wortlinien” is a line of words milled into a lintel beam in the Bärenwaldhaus at the Tierpark Dählhölzli, Tierparkweg 3, in Bern, created in 2012 by Beat Sterchi and Karina Akopian. Beat Sterchi was born in Bern in 1949 and is a Swiss writer. He became known in 1983 with the novel Blösch. The words are milled into the beam and so form a permanent part of the building. Background on the concept of the work and on Karina Akopian is not documented yet.
