Spalt oder irgendwo da draußen (Gap, or somewhere out there), 2001-2002

Time-based video installation, 10-channel, door, 10 flat screens, 10 synchronized DVD players, Entrance hall of Munich Re, Gedonstraße, Munich, 7 x 1 m, DV, 16:9, Color, 50 individual scenes, Total length 50′, Animations Das Werk, München

Set behind a wooden wall in the entrance hall is a vertical, room height video strip. At hourly intervals, the protruding wall panels slide open for one minute to offer a fragmentary view of a 3-dimensional, animated landscape. The setting, a park-like artificial landscape, is a kind of universal garden whose mixture of cultivated and wild nature alludes to Munich’s nearby English Garden. At the center of each scene is a fabulous creature, half-faun and half-wolfcub. Well-concealed, he now and again attempts to tease visitors to the forest.
