The tenth project for the SEVEN SCREENS, which isto celebrate the 5th anniversary of the public art platform, isdedicated to the human being. Herlinde Koelbl’s central theme is theimportance of seeing. Everything begins with a look at the world and a look atone’s self: recognizing, perceiving, seeing, communicating. Herinstallation „You have taken away my heart, with one look you have takenit“ returns us to the origin of perception and the meaning of light,which provides the basis for the SEVEN SCREENS. The titleof her installation was inspired by Solomon's Song of Songs.
