The leading idea of the project is a distinction between two parallel worlds, two separate realities. This is existence of real, earthly world towards peculiar context of art. Such a distinctness provokes and inclines establishing the strong, visible border that separates common, ordinary reality from upper sphere of life which is timeless. At the same time this constitutes the border between large city and art.
Differentiation of this two areas is neither an attempt at limiting nor separation but comes from a strong need to underline the requirements of dominant place. The border was not created to divide but in order to stress the significance of the place. The moment of crossing the border is equivalent to exceeding over all known dimensions. The meaning of border and major idea of its creation is evoking the purification, refreshment and preparation for real cognition.
Crossing into the different dimension takes place in ordinary way – via door however through vertical surface of the waterfall – the border between two worlds: real and magic; normality and unknown, hidden sphere.
The waterfall constitutes a curtain and a skin which discloses itself by movement. The movement is evoked by the wind that touches the building or streams of rain hitting particular “wings” of the façade. Both the wind and rain creates an effect of waving and flickering of the water touched by wind. The whole skin of the building moves in unpredictable and seemingly chaotic way. The wings are waving which gives an impression of rough picture – constantly unstable and fully conformed to rights of nature.
The building transforms into the sculpture. Its monumental skins plays on wind. Interacting with the surrounding the building attracts an attention and catches all glances. As the core of art is presentation and disclosure, the waterfall comes to be disclosed by the movement of rain and wind no matter in what season of the year – calm, windy or rainy days.
The majestic structure, that consists of hundreds of “wings”, protects the inside treasure which sparkles the range of blue and turquoise shades. Metallic layer of “wings” reacts to surrounding with moving reflections which strengthens an effect of flickering and instability. The whole curtain of the waterfall is at the same time embodiment of lightness, fragility but also massive majesty of water element and impetuosity of nature.
