The installation AMBIENT GREEN (12.09.- 08.12.2002) by Gertrud Fischbacher was projected to construct an atmospherical space. With a special lighting concept the platform of the underground line nr. 2 (Ruhleben-Pankow) was temporarily set up as a biosphere to welcome the passers by. 12 digital prints created green "windows" behind the rails.
Former train dispatcher stations were changed into imaginary greenhouses. The action "Bioportraits" on saturday 09/21/2002 translated the idea of the transformation of a common daily urban area into an artificial natural area and involved the passengers.
Using the transluzenten AMBIENT GREEN - foils and the green light as a backdrop, the passengers were challenged to allow themselves for a minute of calm in front of a running camera on a very busy saturday and to possibly think of a plant. After the take, we took notes of the botanical name.
