Wellengang
2025
permanent installation
at the Salinarium thermal spa, Bad Dürkheim
(Rhineland-Palatinate)
The installation WELLENGANG (Waves Passage) lends color and identity to the 30-meter-long glass corridor between the changing area and the new thermal baths.
The atmospheric color gradient along the outer glass façade and the wall surfaces above and below the inner glass façade references the emission
and absorption spectrum of Cesium.
The specific spectral lines, translated into glass strips and glass mosaic, range from red to violet (740 - 380 nm).
The element Cesium was discovered in 1860 by German scientists Robert Bunsen and Gustav Kirchhoff and
identified using their newly developed spectral analysis technique at the thermal spring Maxquelle in Dürkheim.
WELLENGANG picks up on the historical reference and features the bright passageway.
