The moontable on the water

Art performance where a luminescent
object was temporary set on the Bothkamp
Lake, 1998, 2000
The Mondtisch [Moon Table] is a 170 cm high table-object made of polyester, which is a moulding of the chestnut wood table “Der Empfangende” [The Conceiving]. It has been developed in the course of the Hermann-Stehr Award in 1997.

For the art performance (1st Kultursommer
[cultural event] in the Barkauer Land Region), it is set on a float and emits a magic light at night using a solar plant; just as the moon, the object uses the sunlight to shine. The performance is a cheerful happening at the lake including curing of fish, music and lyric poetry. With the Moon Table-antlers turned
upside down, the table is set on the lake by voluntary swimmers.
