ZWISCHEN HIMMEL UND ERDE was realised inside a newly constructed building, the new headquarters of the Windkraft Simonsfeld AG, a wind energy company, designed by Juri Troy Architects. It is a artwork resulting from the careful  extraction of natural colourants from plants and the dyeing of biological and organic fabrics. 

Wind turbines are vertical elements that rise up from the ground, rooted firmly in the earth. They form a bridge between the earth and the sky. On one side, the land with its cultivated fields forms a geometric carpet of different textures and colours. On the other side, the mountain ridges merge with the changing colours of the sky. Two natural elements meet. SKY and EARTH, depicted in fabrics painted in the colours that nature offers us. Colours made from leaves, bark or roots to give us back the feeling of belonging to a natural cycle.

For the EARTH ROOM, panels are covered with brightly coloured fabrics. The colour palette is dominated by earth tones, from brown to green. The use of different types of fabric allows for a variety of weaving structures and soft, always harmonious colour nuances. The individual panels form a composition based on the shapes of the rectangle and the triangle. The use of the diagonal creates a dynamic effect of the composition as a counterbalance to the clear linear geometry.

The SKY ROOM is dominated by the characteristic blue colouring in a variety of shades, ranging from light to dark blue tones. This effect is intended to recall the different intensities of blue that occur in the sky itself at sunset, especially when the light reflects off the various ridges that lie as planes one behind the other. The lengths of material overlap, creating multiple layers of colour and material. Although each panel follows the same surface pattern, it is composed differently according to new geometries. Each one is the same and yet different from the other.
