f_a_c_a_d_e_s The presented art-project Panta Rei is a research about the never ending change in a city.
Like Heraclitus, an ancient Greek philosopher, talked about uninity of opposite parts. He thought nothing in our world stays the same. A city is a chain of buildings, all different in shape, design and size. Every building has its own purpose. To keep a city up and running is a complex business, an ever on-going process. A building once built for a special purpose, will be used differently when the next owner moves in. There are always building-projects going on in the city. They seem binding links in the real development of a city. At the same time the building work is hidden from us by colourful building clothes. So Heraciltes inescapable law is visualized by making an inventory of and showing building sites hidden by the colourful cloth.
