'Owlina again took the train today. She liked the moving stairs a lot and was excited to go on another trip.' 
'Arriving at Wolfsburg Hauptbahnhof she had the choice of either visiting the Autostadt www.autostadt.de , the Phaenomenta www.phaeno.de or the Kunstmuseum Wolfsburg www.kunstmuseum-wolfsburg.de . And guess what: Owlina decided to see the first art exhibition of her life!' 
'She was impressed by the architecture of the museum and took a good flight around the building. Then she wanted to go inside and join the guided tour of "The Wolfsburg Project" by the American concept artist James Turrell which started at 3 p.m.' 
'"The colours, look at the colours!!" Owlina was totally excited when she entered the huge installation. "This pink is the nicest colour ever! And look at the blue, and look at the green turning into yellow!" The little one was overwhelmed by the intense colours all around her. Owlina could very well be an art critic as she sensed the various aspects of this special event. It is the largest installation ever realized by the American concept artist and encompasses 70 square meters. The room-within-a-room structure extends up eleven meters. It is a hollow space of the "Ganzfield Pieces" type with two interlocking spaces - the so-called viewing space and the sensing space - which are both completely empty and entirely flooded with a diffuse, slowly shifting coloured light. The viewer can excess these spaces via a steep ramp. He immerses himself in the "sublime bath of light" and experiences how all architectural aspects of the space are cancelled out to the point of disorientation in the homgeneous field of vision. The artist himself calls this experience: "feeling with your eyes". One thing is for sure: Owlina will be an art lover for the rest of her life!"'
