und und und

und und und is a kinetic sculpture anchored in the Danube at a bend in Neuburg an der Donau. About nine metres long, it carries floating text and a water wheel that moves with the river. From the Donaukai promenade, you see writing drift across the water while the transparent railing follows the curve.

The wheel draws energy from the current and powers blue light on the floating words after daylight fades. At intervals, the words appear and disappear above the river. This cycle joins movement, energy, light, and time with the changing water, weather, and surrounding landscape. The installation forms part of Kunsträume Bayern and stands at the focal point of the promenade. The walkway replaced an old wall, bringing the city closer to the river’s bend.

At night, the illuminated handrail forms a light arc beside the water. Three repeated words travel forward with the current yet remain anchored at this single bend. The water wheel turns the river’s flow into a blue reflection that returns across the surface.
