Floating Rings
2020
A public art installation made of floating rings and light shown from December 2020 until April 2021.
For the facade of the Schöneberg Museum at Hauptstraße 40/42 airy swimming rings were transformed into permanent objects. By means of a rotational casting process fifteen sculptures were created from polymer plaster. During the day, the "Floating Rings" shine in their striking colors. If we take a closer look, we even discover the deceptively real drape. But it's only at dusk that many small LEDs in the center of each floating ring begin to glow, setting the entire work of art in motion. The electric light follows a choreography determined by the artist. It floats from ring to ring, pauses here and there, and constantly creates new structures.
