For Beatriz von Eidlitz
„I saw a cage in flight. There were eagles inside.“
Two octagonal stars made of bamboo stalks, bearing eight sails from their circumferences to their centers, werde attached to a central axle. The star-wheels were so large, she couls stand inside them with her arms outstreched. The object was lifted up by the wind, and it began to rotate. I saw this double wheel of sails, carried upwards by big balloons, floating above the rooftops of Munich. It seemed as if the flying object – if it hadn´t been attached to the earth with a cable – would sail away on the wind, to the clouds, and of into the blue sky. The object itself was conceived as a cloud, to float up and away, where no one could ever bring it back down again.
