morgenstelle cafeteria
tübingen university, 2009

“hin und wieder aber dennoch” (now and then but nonetheless) 

 

large-scale, luminous words accompany the students at tübingen university not – as we might expect – while they are studying but while they are eating. suspended from the ceiling in the cafeteria where the food is served, the words and their possible meanings add an element of interest and diversion to the time spent in this functional space. they are a playful adaptation of words by the philosopher hannes böhringer selected specifically for this location. light sequences of different colours create an ever-changing atmosphere, bringing the whole cafeteria to life.
