Julian Hölscher (DE) – Pendulum

Julian Hölscher renders the architecture translucent, revealing a large swinging pendulum behind the façade of St. John’s Church. The rhythmic work breaks down the perception of time into fragmented cadences. Driven by the pendulum’s movement, the façade oscillates between abstract states of slow motion and movement.

As the oldest instrument for measuring time, the pendulum is a powerful symbolic image. Without being explicit, it evokes thoughts of the urgency, order and instability. The artwork subtly refects different mental states or even the transformation of history and society.
