red sculpture with a shadow

Raumfisch

The “Noah’s Ark” childcare center as a takeoff and landing site:
A play on words and wind on the roof, a mural on the windowless facade.

Like a weather vane, the installation is meant to sit atop the roof, serving as a focal point for all who pass by.
Depending on the wind direction and strength, the RAUMFISCH [SPACE FISH]reveals its utopian or Christian side, sometimes more, sometimes less dynamically.

Modeled after a vertical wind turbine, two oversized cookie cutters are nested inside one another on a single axis: a fish and a spaceship.

The mural is “unrolled” across a large section of the facade, colorfully marking the entrance to the daycare center. Standing out is a school of fish, with the PACE FISH right in the middle.

A cookie cutter is a tangible object, and every young generation is full of drive and bold dreams. Children want to become astronauts, bakers, firefighters, doctors, chancellors, popes, and so on.

Does the Ark 3.0 need to be a spaceship?
