IRRLÄUFER (Erratiker)

Klinkengrund, Bad Belzig, 2015

plywood, wheels, photos, blue paint, 180x 180 x 180cm

Irrläufer is a moving installation on wheels. It visualizes a crinkled space that deals with the theme of a mirage.
Its original shape has been generated from a cube. The numerous panels of the crystalline sculpture are covered with photos of a stereotype DDR-housing complex from the seventies, some of them painted with skyblue color. Apparently they are creating the illusion of a reflexion.

The housing complex "Klinkengrund" where the photos were taken is located in the nearby district town of Bad Belzig. During 2 days in the summer of 2015 the Irrläufer is being pulled around the blocks of this neighbourhood.

In the frame of the project ERRATIKER the Irrläufer is emigrating from its original surrounding in Bad Belzig to the Baruth glacier valley near Baitz. There it finds its destination inside the black and abstract inner space of a metal container.

The Scandinavian-German art project ERRATIKER has been realized by Kunstpflug e.V. directed by Otmar Sattel and Susken Rosenthal.
