hoehenrausch.2 (0 comments)
back in 2009 when linz was the european capital of cultural there was one exhibition that was pretty fascinating, namely the "hoehenrausch" (which was the counterpart to the "tiefenrausch", one year before). due to it's popularity (i guess) it was a bit refined and reopened this month. since i really liked version one i was curious to see hoehenrausch.2. and so on saturday ninsti and i went there. the first object one gets to see is about icelandic waterfalls. it's a box where can pull out frames with pictures of the waterfall and the sound of the waterfall is played along. so wonderful, we totally enjoyed that. loads of waterfalls looked (and sounded?) familiar to us. next piece of art is a room[001-007] flooded with water. perfect for cooling ones feet. after some more art[008-010] we ended up on the roof of the museum. here starts the round[012-079] over some rooftops of linz.
the footbridge route was a little altered. this time it goes right through the church tower[019-033]. at the end one comes back to the place where the ferris wheel used to be back in 2009. now there's waterworks[045-054,060-066]. seems like this is the main attraction everyone enjoys the most. kids, but also grown-ups get the thrill of trying to stay dry while the hexagonal water pavilion (as it's called) starts to shoot up walls of water from jets. or course we tried to, and... failed.
another high-light (literally) was in the attic[105-118] of the church where blue neon lights were put. though the light and colours were quite nice, i more enjoyed being in the attic itself. wonderful place with lots of decay - oh, i liked that.
we stayed quite long at the exhibition, so we took a rest and enjoyed an ice coffee. then we grabbed some drinks and went to the linz fest which was taking place nearby right next to the danube. besides a lot of activity and live music we especially enjoyed the "blonder engel" performance. a mix of music and cabaret full of humour and satire. ninsti bought a CD and had it signed by the artist[121]. wonderful weekend that was.
