An installation of steel wire and transparent orbits transforms the wide open space under the dome-shaped glass ceiling of Düsseldorf's K21 museum into a surreal landscape reminiscent of a sea of clouds. The installation called 'in orbit' by artist Tomás Saraceno creates three different levels. Brave visitors are invited to access the installation and move across the nets and in and out of spheres. Their movements cause vibrations - like in a spider web - which, combined with the lofty heights, create a fascinating spatial experience. The installation is now open and currently planned to remain on display until Fall 2014.
