Pretty Things, 2003

Room installation with models of space rockets carved from Ytong blocks and a Collection of physical formulae for the movement of rockets in space, screen prints on aluminium plates

„Space, the distancing of oneself from the earth, the idea of a journey into timelessness undertaken by people travelling for generations: Pretty Things marks the [...] visual realization of this range of topics, one of great interest to Ottmar Hörl. [...] What are presented here are the physical formulae for a two-stage or three-stage carrier rocket. This makes the event, in the connection of cause and effect, immediately comprehensible."[1]
