Running Apart is made for the window of Berlin-Weekly. The viewer perceives a spatial composition of several pictorial surfaces inside through the window. The centre of the image is a quotation from a drawing by Kandinsky materialised as lines of light. An automated pulling device changes the space and influences the view of the viewer. In a 4-minute interval, a transparent picture surface is pulled up and obscures his view. The result is a moving painting.
