En passant

Evaluation office of the Munich tax office in Höchstädt


As a connecting piece between the two parts of the building, the two-storey entrance hall offers various traffic routes. These allow different angles of view of the wall at its northern end: when entering the building, you first have a frontal view of the wall, when passing from one part of the building to the other, you have a side view. From the gallery you have an elevated position. However, this wall can always be overlooked as a whole area. As modules, black balls are put together to form an ornamental pattern that only touch the wall minimally. This graphically imagined pattern becomes a spatial structure through the plasticity of the spheres, which is set in motion by the movement of the viewer. Perceiving in motion is the basic theme of this work. The wall becomes an object, in relation to the building, in relation to the viewer, and through the movement of the viewer.
