UND DIE WEIßE ZELLE SCHWEBT WEITER ..., 2005 (And the white
cube keeps on floating...)

The
technical installation room of the museum is used as the
machine room setting for a constructed white cube that
can be compared to an extension of the museum on a space
station. The cubic museum architecture of Oswald Mathias
Unger is referenced through a remake of the original museum
lamps. Through simple interventions in the room - the
neon lamps, a built in groove, the rubber carpet and
two doors - the whole space is changing and it is hard to
find out what is real and what is built-in-construction.
One door is turned 90 degrees and optically gravity in
this white cube in space is turned upside down. In addition
the floor is vibrating through subwoofer speakers hidden
under the groove and a frequency generator that produces
a 40 Hz wave. The spectator finds himself in this vibrating
space station reminding of Kubricks "2001 - Space Odyssey"
that seems to float away.
