    2007 | Pipes | interactive installation

    In Saarbrücken, a city near Germany’s western border, the pipes of a former industrial granary seem to scrape the sky. A wooden replica of one of the granary’s pipes is installed horizontally in the first floor of the machine tower. It fills the cubic room completely and creates a skater’s paradise. On the rear wall an interactive film is projected that reveals a glimpse into the granary pipes.

    When the skater drives into the round shape and swings up, the animation is started: a trip through the 30 m long enlightened pipes of the building. The skater influences the video projection with endurance, speed, and height. By moving up and down he or she generates new images, new shapes of the pipe, which finally turn into rotating hypnotic light ornaments.
