Force II B. Tschumi pavilion, Hereplein Groningen 1996
The Tschumi-pavilion in Groningen is a quite
extraordinary small building standing in the centre of a crowded roundabout.
It is mainly made out of glass and can be described as a glass box
which is lifted off the ground on one side. The image of ‘Force II’ was projected on two
semi-transparent screens, placed inside the glass box on the outer
edges. By analogy with the nature of the roundabout and the heavy traffic rotating there,
the video-images rotate as well, in a very steady and slow way. No sound is used in this arrangement. |
