überdreht

overwound — A hose, 8 metres long, is sus­pended: in Môtiers from the top-storey window of a building; in St. Gallen, from the ceiling 
of a skylit gallery. It has been anchored to the street or floor and twisted into a fine line 
with a funnel-shaped opening at the top. I am sitting high up in the opening. The light ­shining through the fabric reveals the contours of 
my body. As soon as I let go at the top, the taut fabric begins to unwind and, as it rotates, 
I slip down with the weight of my body until I have reached the bottom and can crawl out of the hose.
