PANI - Projektion im Rahmen der Luminale 2008
A disused industrial building of the 1920s, Frankfurt's former wholesale market is about to be converted into the new headquarters of the European Central Bank. Before the real construction work begins on the site of the impressive, 220-metre-long building in the northern banks of the River Main, Casa Magica created ephemeral, virtual metamorphoses, generated by light, on this southern facade.

These night panoramas consisted of motifs recalling the past (wholesale market) as well as allusions to the near (construction works) and distant (new ECB premises) future, freely adapting the formal principles characterising banknotes, those objects that are the concrete everyday symbol of the abstract concept of the financial economy.
