Information

The pylons in the four prime colours are intended to illustrate a nuclear chain reaction. The artist screen-printed four symbols (for water, industrial exhaust, forestation and an embryo) onto them. The number relates to the four different years at the primary school.

4 objects are placed in the room which, through their colour and movement, divide up the space and create excitement in order to provide ecological food for thought (classes: teacher-environment-pupil). The pylons, which are 400cm x 200cm x 40cm high and kept in the 4 primary colours, illustrate a chain reaction, 4 black silkscreen prints (water, industrial waste, forest, embryo) ensure better readability. The 4 pylons in the 4 primary colours correspond to the 4 school levels of the primary school.
