The Video-Tellurium moves the viewer away from earth into the darkness of outer space and shows our planet from an exterior perspective. The Videotellurium fixes questions in the planets and seeks to preserve these factors as artifacts for the future.
Katja Loher's Videotellurium is a grand, full-scale sculptural representation of a tellurium - a mechanical model of the planets and moons in our solar system. Katja's sculpture uses weather balloons as the planets. Orbiting video projectors suggest satellites or moons and project video images onto the planets. The Videoplanets circle the "sun" at the center point of the room at different speeds and in different direction.
Videotellurium / Motion II is a first prototyp. The sculpture contains the sun in the centre and the red and the green planet.
Do fish love cats as much as cats
love fish ?
How can a fish tell a cat when a fish loves a cat ?
How can we dance with both feet on the ground ?
What does a tree write on the leaves it offers to the wind?
How does the wind know when and where not to blow?
How many leaves must the tree lose in vain before the wind notices?
