Kriskadecor COLUMNS Aluminium chain curtain

The powerful architecture of the 34-m high Flak-tower in the Arenbergpark, Vienna is largely visible from the outside.‎ However, from the inside, its enormous dimensions lose itself due to the structuring in eight floors and the walls separating different rooms.‎ In fact, the only place where people can become aware of the height of the Flak-tower is the small space of approximately 180 x 90 cm of the stairs.‎ To enjoy this gigantic architecture from the outside to the inside, Stanzel created "The tower in the tower" with links from Kriskadecor.‎ As the author explains, "the cross section of my tower, made of approximately 700 aluminum chains in shiny silver, has the shape of an oval, which contrasts with the angular environment".‎ In fact, from the bottom of the ground floor to the ceiling of the eighth floor, the tower has the function of an "observation bar".‎ To get the impression of a firm body, the chains not only outline the oval, but also fill the interior.‎ Yet, in contrast to the visual effect of a firm body, the chains are soft and, when touched, yield and sway slightly.‎ Stanzel also sees the chain as a line, an important component in his artistic vocabulary.‎ This installation includes many lines (chains) that make it a two-dimensional space (curtain) and, when placing a curtain behind another curtain, the space becomes three-dimensional.‎ Material: aluminium chain Shape: Straight System: Fixed structure Colours: Silver Link’s type: Kriska Further info from manufacturer on COLUMNS Kriskadecor
