Zen-Construct

Zen Konstrukt

Located at a riverbank, 2006

In many, especially asian cultures the image of „the river“ stands for continuity and change. It symbolizes life and is a favorited object of meditative exercise. Looking at a river you will notice, that your eyes follow objects on the surface for a short time, than hop back, refocus and so on. Your reception is cut into discrete parts. Zen – Construct is a tool to immerse into the „flow“ of the river, into the river „as it“. Looking through the 4 m steel-tube stops the focus – refocus process and makes you aware of the stream velocity. A strange physical experience that sometime causes the impression, that you move and the river stands still.
