Wind, 2010, D.N.K., Gleimtunnel Berlin
At a height of five meters the wind moves two words: Rein/Raus (In/Out). Unaffected by human hands, randomly driven, the weather plays with the meanings. Set in an urban environment, the sign gives a confusing message which is neither a notice, a prohibition or an advertisement. The purpose of the freedom of this arrangement is to leave the observer thoughtful, and perhaps even angry. Who should feel addressed? What imaginary boundary/border is the sign referring to? Who’s in, who’s out and who makes that decision? Text from Barbara Rüth
