___________________________________________________________________________________
A ghost metro train, which has already been all around Europe, appears in Berlin.
It ignores physics, gaps between buildings, space and time. Based on a light phenomenon,“the light Hole”, the ghost metro train turns into a travelling myth, which constitutes itself upon its loose artifacts, collected on the way. The train becomes an artifact itself, as it could appear at any public space―unpredictably, unable to be tracked by route or starting point.
HR-Stamenov suggests a light spectacle, as a train literally “appears” inside a building, leaving passers-by unknowing of what they have just seen. The immediate attention, which the media installation produces, serves as an illustration of a rather nostalgic gesture, the fascination of observing a train passing by at times when this occurrence is rare sight. Similarly, it illustrates a spectacle in public space, as it transforms a three-dimensional object―such as a train―into a screen-based visual phenomenon. It is the size, the picture and the sound of a real train; it becomes a screen, a motion picture, a blinking advertising sign. Located in the center of Berlin―at LEAP on Karl-Liebknecht-Straße at Alexanderplatz―the Ghost Train is also in constant reference to its original symbolic context. Every couple of minutes a train passes through or stops at the central city station (Alexanderplatz) which the glass-façade of the installation points at.
