Mannheimer cube

In the context of the solo exhibition "Thomas Emde" in the Kunsthalle Mannheim, 1992 "The Mannheim Cube, a 5x5x5m large, walk-in frame construction, whose glass walls, floor and ceiling are transparent from the outside, embodies as a model of experience that border situation between inside and outside, in which the vanishing points of the different projections collapse into one another, dissolve at their edges and become identical in the circular movement of the gaze. While the observer, who is outside the cube, sees how the observer inside the cube sees himself, the observer inside the cube sees himself and he looks at himself. In both cases the observer becomes the observed, albeit in a different way.
