Panta Rhei

Greek: everything is "in flux" (from Heraclitus)

In the room you see a parachute-like canvas hanging from the ceiling blown up by an air circulator. On this surface you can watch a circular masked videoclip. It can be seen from both sides. In the video the impression is evoked that you see a globe. It might be weather changes or continental drifts moving in rapid mode. Through these layers news-speakers appear. The sound is created from modified news jingles.

The formula panta rhei is taken from Platon, who wanted to give a summary of the theory of Heraclitus. It means everything flows and nothing is left (unchanged) or everything flows and nothing stands still.
Dramatic changes are all over the world. Do we still recognize them correctly or do they float through our brain by media only.
