Inner City - HDR

Inner City - HDR is a tribute to Hans Poelzigs Haus des Rundfunks (”broadcasting house”), which he designed at the end of the roaring twenties as the world´s first self-contained broadcasting center. Its unusual architecture reflects how radio transmission shook up a decade. Non-orthogonal, intersecting units alter with inner courtyards and tunnels, convex walls with concaves, long corridors bend in different directions.
As this architecture seems like a silent monument for radio waves, Inner City - HDR does without sound (like all other parts of the series). Instead it solely focuses on the vibrant architecture to visually palpate it, take the viewer to impossible angles and let the building bend in strange perspectives. By the end the whole building complex has turned inside out - the inner courtyards are solid building blocks with former tunnels as bridges between them.
Inner City – HDR was created for the building´s 90th anniversary festivities during Covid times. It was presented on a LED wall within a large window next the main entrance.
