Vertigo is located in a deciduous forest next to fields and an old farmhouse. One can interact with the various wooden objects that are placed on the periphery of a natural arena. The installation is accompanied with a ritual track composed by Dance Divine.

Four different Paddles relate to farming tools and their implementation in folkloric Austrian dance. A Kissing-Flute, which is to be held and played, is placed on a stone. Two Rams are to be smashed against the trunks of trees to give a rhythmic experience. The 24 magnetic cubes of Day and night are to decide the everlasting rivalry between day and night, in the form of a game.
