It stretched from 2.5 meter to 1.2, covering the upper parts of people gathering in the so indicated protected area at the entrance of the building.<br>Conceived and commissioned for the first time for New York it should provide shadow in the screechingly hot Ludlow 38 Goethe space during summer, and should also provide a possibility for unnoticed drinking in the street, factually prohibited in New York.<br>It became a transferable concept to function as a kind of protected area in public space for soliciting, since all upper body activities were invisible, while people were not actually hiding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Technical Details: <\/strong><br>Metal rods, suspensions (wire), blue cloth, <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Dimensions:<\/strong><br>variable, depending on the existing architecture, but app. 4 x 2 meters.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery
