2018 / Interactive Kinetic Installation 

Spherical structure with 35 umbrellas, 300 cm diameter 

  
SURFACE X is a kinetic installation which reacts to the presence of visitors. 

It‘s a spherical structure with 35 umbrellas. Initially, all umbrellas are opened and create a huge black formation, that surpasses the human being by far. But as soon as a visitor approaches the installation, the umbrellas shy away in a fraction of a second and close themselves. When SURFACE X is pressed by several people, all umbrellas close so that only the skeleton remains standing. It takes a while until all umbrellas open up again.
