Hexagonal Water Pavilion. The work is a programmed water pavilion on a hexagonal outline with altogether sixteen walls of water shooting up from jets in the ground. The 2,50-metre-high water walls randomly rise and fall, describing all possible right-angled configurations of the space in defined sequences before changing shape and appearance.
After Jeppe Hein's exhibition in 2010 the Neues Museum Nuremberg will
present the artist's "Hexagonal Water Pavilion".
The work is a programmed water pavilion on a hexagonal outline with
altogether sixteen walls of water shooting up from jets in the ground. The
2,50-metre-high water walls randomly rise and fall, describing all possible
right-angled configurations of the space in defined sequences before
changing shape and appearance.
Initially the pavilion looks inaccessible for the viewer, but soon it is
evident that the wall of water is divided into sections and the visitor is
allowed to move within the structure from space to space, finding himself in
differently shaped spaces inside, or suddenly on the outside of the pavilion
without any possibility to control or govern the confinement or exclusion.
