Eclipsis. 2007
Cuboid-shaped installation, profile spotlight, text panel

In the dark room, one initially sees only the glare of a floodlight. When one approaches the markings on the wall, a text appears in one's own shadow. It could be translated as:

YOU COME TO THE HEART
OF GERMANY
MERELY TO READ THE WORD
ART
UNDER YOUR OWN
SHADOW
