| earthskyearth 3D animation, 2005/2006 |
 |
|
By projecting collages of aerial night views of the Ruhr area (see "earthsky" series) onto spheres, a new sort of astronomic objects is created: massive as planets yet glowing on their own like stars but less luminous and in a textured way − and the light emerging from electricity and not chemical reactions. Referring to the origin of these electric light structures, one can think of them as earth-like planets lacking a sun − and thus daylight. |
 |
| In a number of sequences the camera follows different scenarios of the "earthskyearth" bodies, which are glowing in an endless night. The gathering of several specimen − each one unique though clearly all objects are of the same class or nature − and the sparkling of the light structures due to the movement give them an aura of almost being alive. |
 |
| The underlying sound is an up and down swelling swoosh. It originates from the noise signal produced by the computer while rendering the animation which was then digitally manipulated. |
| The installation at the Kuenstlerzeche Unser Fritz carries the animation into the real space.
