Slow Rotations – Carsten Höller in Conversation

Known for his radically playful yet precisely conceived installations, artist Carsten Höller explores the relationship between perception, control, and pleasure. For the Kulm Hotel St. Moritz, he is creating a pink, mirrored carousel to be installed on the ice rink in front of the hotel. In conversation with Mathis Neuhaus, Höller reflects on the appeal of slowness, art as a tool to shift consciousness, and the luxury of not knowing.
