DMY 2010 award winner: foruse/numen
'tape installation' at tempelhof airport, berlin

in their series of site specific tape installations, croation design collective foruse/numen
showcased their latest creation at DMY international design festival berlin 2010. although
their tape installations are often conceived as a kind of parasitic object installed into locations
such as old attics, columns of a historical building, or an industrial concrete structure, this
time a custom scaffolding construction had to be made due to location change by DMY.
the result, according to the foruse/numen, translated into a structure reminiscent of a UFO.
the installation was executed within four days (approximately 160 working hours) utilizing
almost 700 conventional transparent tapes (45 km of tape).

the tendons of multiple layers of transparent adhesive tape were firstly stretched in
between the constructions. the following continuous wrapping of tendons resulted
in a complex, amorphous surface through a process similar to the growth of organic
forms. the idea for the installation originated from a set design concept for a dance
performance in which the form evolved from the movement of dancers between
the pillars. the dancers stretched the tape while they moved, so the resulting shape
became a (tape) recording of their choreography.
