01 / Experience
A choreography
at architectural scale.
Illuminated objects travel independently along steel cables spanning the 19-metre-high entry space of the old Kraftwerk in Berlin. Their movements shift between steady rotation, abrupt acceleration and free fall, bringing gravitational forces into a spatial choreography.
Mechanical sounds and moving light patterns extend the experience into the surrounding architecture.

02 / My contribution
From production
to the installation floor.
As project and hardware director, I coordinated with the Berlin Atonal team and organised production, fabrication and installation. I led the on-site setup and contributed to prototyping, working alongside Florian Born, who focused on mechanical design, CAD modelling and custom-part production.
