Concept
The artist is on the water around the castle Gudenau on a rowing boat, around her are numerous yellow-colored balloons and a boat driver. The boat driver moves the boat and the artist sets with a rope one balloon after the other at a distance of about 2 m onto the water. The balloons are like pearls on a chain on the water around the water castle that approximately has the extent of 300 m. The public can follow the performance for the entire duration around the castle. From each point around the castle new perspectives open up and show the castle and the boat as a performative water sculpture that connects to the architecture of the castle in shape and color. The balloons resemble buoys to draw a line on the water sending the castle symblolically like a ship on a long trip.
