"Room with lake view"

2015/16 | Wetz and Silas Kreienbühl (Joint work) | 16 Photographs | Plasma screen | 4 HD videos | All in oak wood frames | 26 Excellence-Station rooms, Lucerne Cantonal Hospital | 4 Excellence rooms, New Eye Clinic, Lucerne

The Lucerne Cantonal Hospital’s new “Excellence-Station” offers also premium services from an aesthetic point of view: Patients can view the lake and nature. In this case, however, the exclusive lake view is conveyed through art and becomes available as soon as the TV is switched on. The TV channel can be changed, of course, in order to access the normal TV programme. The video installation is supplemented with photographs placed on the left and right of the TV set. “Lake view” brings peace and silence to the patient’s room. Scientific findings have confirmed in the meantime that such an ambience helps to support the health of the patients.
