The monumental depiction of a waterfall, printed on tarpaulin, has been hung over an iron rod, which itself is lying loosely on top of two apsidal capitals. The actual picture measures from the rod onto the floor, with the lower part of the image lying on the floor. The rear part of the tarpaulin remains unprinted and likewise reaches from top to ground. The represented waterfall bears sculptural aspects and is reminiscent of a twisted figure. A plank of plywood, on which drops of excess spray color have run their course, is leaning loosely against the wall. The movement of water and color display an analogy. Furthermore, the elaborate print stands in contrast to the splattered plywood and raises questions of place and reference. This installation was developed for the apsis of the Church of St. Peter and Paul in Berne, CH.
