An unappealing ceiling turns into something alive. Could it become another sky? The underpass is being dressed in a new layer that breathes and responds. It transforms a passageway into a sensory experience perceived through movement, light, shadow, and acoustics. The translucent mesh filters sounds, lets light through, and creates a silence that contrasts with the noise of the street. Technical infrastructure becomes a new typology of an urban contemplative space.

The opening will also include the performance (SKY) Walking in the Clouds by artist Katarína Zagorski, in which anyone from the audience can also take part.
“Would you like to walk a tightrope in the clouds? This is your chance to make the impossible happen. All you need to do is rest your back on the ground, place your feet on the rope, and put on sunglasses so the heavenly glow doesn’t blind you.”
Concept: Katarína Zagorski
