Cityscope by Marco Hemmerling
Marco Hemmerling's Cityscope installation in Cologne is an urban kaleidoscope set in one of the city's busiest squares, between the railway station and the majestic cathedral. The beveled, many-faceted structure captures reflections of the surrounding facades. The outer skin of the piece is covered in radiant foil, so the colours will change, depending on light conditions. This crystal-like installation encourages user interaction, as it is impossible to avoid touring around it to take it in from different angles. The project was designed with Rhinoceros software and the resulting jewel is in proportion to the buildings that make up the setting.
