Tilmann Krumrey: „Space and body (sculpture) are complementary. Within there is an unavoidable dialogue. I built spaces as stage for sculpture and spectator: acoustic, light, temperature, scent, tactile sense, body, all within one Gesamtkunstwerk (total artwork). Those spaces change consciousness and build bridges between the inner world of dreams and physical subsistence.“
Our himmel und himmel artspace is the attempt of transforming this spatial experience into every day life. An experiment, meant to take one year, in dialogue with building fabric and own body by living on the construction site from the very start. A souterrain of a 19th century townhouse was to be transformed into a multifunctional loft. It became 4 years of construction. Technical challenges: complex. Air conditioning, floor insulation, heating, acoustic, noise insulation, temperature conditioning, dehumidification, waste water, odor conditioning. Hotel, gallery, catwalk, movie, filmset, theatre and music: everything supposed being possible. It became a spatial sculpture whitin any change of bodyposition creates new incentives stimulating the joy of discovery. Partners in crime and co-creators are avantgarde urbanist Hajo Bahner and psychologist Caroline Meiller.
