The so called »Storchennest« (translated: stork's nest) is an odd room, which is located at the Academy Of Fine Arts Dresden, and generally used by students as a studio. It has a circular parquet floor, measuring approximately 7 meter in diameter, and an equably shaped dome above. Three circularly shaped windows are situated in northern direction. Due to »Storchennest« is the top room of a low turret, it is only accessable by climbing a tiny spiral staircase. The temporary installation »Erste Anzeichen von Unsicherheit« (translated: First Signs Of Insecurity) originated specifically for that room. It was a copy of the »Storchennest«, slightly tilted, placed in itself. However, it wasn't an identically replica, but rather a piece of scenery; it was shrunk, but almost filling the whole room. The installation was accessible for visitors, whereby the whole got two sides: Inside the visitor got almost isolated, and due to slope, fake architecture and an unnatural echo, a feeling of physical shakiness arose. The only real vertical was a spherically shaped lamp, a copy of the real room's lamp, hanging from the middle. The installation's outside showed the contrast to the real »Storchennest«, as well as the uncovered back side construction such as the wooden frame, angles and screws.
