Sisyphus – a frenzy machine – Powerstations
for Mercedes Benz, IAA, Frankfurt/Main, 1997 
Central coverage

A Kinetic-Mechanical Work of Art, Performed and Inhabited by Artists
With its very own rhythm of life the mechanical world of Sisyphus describes a poetic equivalent to the rational, high-polished levels of information of the automobile exhibition. Artists, who perform slowed-down, understandable everyday rituals, inhabit the provisional, weird and imaginative object. Their artistic actions above the visitors´ heads give a surrealistic character to the whole installation.
