Katharina Grosse, Transparent Eyeballs

For the first time, Katharina Grosse presents one of her elliptical image systems out-side.The 6 by 8 metre painted object is attached, at a height of over five metres, onto the façade of the Johanneskirche in Düsseldorf in such a way that it reaches out into the space around the church.The sprayed painting refers to something beyond with edges of the curved surface itself and seems like only a small visible part of a larger picture, sliding its way into the pictorial space of the church.English and Geman text.
