The
Foyer of Nuremberg`s »Frankenhalle« is
an open space and is a generous entrance for different events.
Concerts, maintenance, congresses or exhibitions. At the same
time, the transparent glass hall is the interception point for
complex movement streams of the Nuremberg-Fair set up.
Movement as a fuction of space and time,
qualifies the concrete location. Movement qualifies space. Space
provokes a concrete movement. Ever-changing functions and the
rhythm of day and night reconfigure space permanently.
Twelve glass panels are hang from steel cables, frameless above
the hall gallery, covered with fine white serigraph prints. Aligned
in relation to the general movement direction, they are condensed
architecture. Position and sequence result from spatial- and
static structures of the building. By day kinetic (because of
the Moiree Effect), technically cool (like the atmosphere of
the conferences), and fluid or compact (in relation to the light),
in the evening the panels transmute through beamer projection
to light objects.
The dissolved movements of the visitors look like virtual spatial
architecture on the glass sequence. ephemeral traces. |
