Hein Sinken | Anemokinetic object

The kinetic object by Hein Sinken (b. 1914 in Aachen – d. 1987) was created as part of the “Street Art Program.” Set against the backdrop of historic and modern architecture, it appears in front of the Historical Museum as an exhibit positioned as a landmark. With its pronounced verticality, it could also be a meteorological measuring instrument—and indeed, it visualizes the wind high above our heads, as well as stillness and movement—the invisible factors of its location. This gives rise to gentle shifts in space through what appears to be simultaneous opening and closing, as well as slow and subtle changes in light and reflections.
