Serpentinata II Sounds flow through the space in vivid wavelike form. The spatial composition is built from linear, intermittent and layered movements of tones among 48 loudspeakers mounted in intervals of 100 cm along PVC hoses organically draped in the room. Tone lines form a gateway, a depression; up and down, their curvatures play around the knees, shoulders, hips or heads of those moving around in the sculpture. The cabling is threaded through the tubes in order to free up space for a physical and aural ramble through the sculpture.
One's own movement within the space sculpture locates the harmony of tone, form, body, eye and ear. The tone line gestalt, gradated in time and space, becomes a self-encounter, a hasty flowing-past, an accompanying gesture, a measuring of close or vast. The visible sculpture is superimposed by manifold acoustic architectures.
Kaskade In the open, kidney-shaped interior of the 12storey stairwell, six parabolic bowls are hung at angles. From the parabolic bowls, narrowly concentrated sound beams are projected downward onto diagonally hung surfaces, and from these reflected to the steps and the walls of the staircase. A stepwise descent of sound turns into an acoustic cascade. From the central cascade, a circulating auditory space forms, made up of sound reflections and visual-haptic sound manifestations. One can fathom its depths as one climbs the entire length of the stairs.
