Visit Visual Dialog: Ninety Minutes

Ninety minutes to play the game. Ninety minutes during which floodlights illuminate not only the field but also the world outside. Whilst spectators in their hundreds or thousands watch the events at the stadium, the surroundings transform completely. Some things which are highlighted and can be observed in greater detail only during the game, return to being hidden from view when it is over.

Visit Visual Dialog: Floating Aspect

Floating, towed timelessness. Sluggish giants. Barges might be generally described by these words. Once a very familiar sight of the riverside, even time has forgotten them. Their shapes remain as they used to be, moving slowly with their long, flat bodies up and down river with their heavy loads, just as they have for centuries. A mundane but, sometimes, romantic world it has many faces to reveal to the careful observer. The sound of the metal hulls and objects in constant motion against and with each other creates a unique aura. Here a visual game is played out where detail and form ultimately become adrift from their function.
