Description

Ganzfeld is a bright and colourful immersive installation on the burner platform of the sintering plant, where during the active years of the Völklingen Ironworks it was dark and dusty. To create this artwork for the Urban Art Biennale 2024, Dutch duo Krista Burger and Kenneth Letsoin harnessed the efforts of over 1,000 collaborators. Numerous school classes from the region took part in painting a host of pictures on a 500-metre length of fabric. Inspiration came from the immediate surroundings, including the architecture of the sintering plant, and also Paradise, the green wilderness in the former coking plant of the Völklingen Ironworks. Burger and Letsoin, who have been collaborating for ten years now, enjoy the dynamics and the bonds that emerge during in the creation of their participatory works.
