For eight building entrances in Reininghaus, artist Nives Widauer created a colourful, artistically designed signage system that characterizes the individual residential units. Eight plants, which can be used or added to beer brewing, were burned onto eight differently colored enamel panels. As dusk falls, the colors gradually disappear and the panels begin to glow. They slowly transform into constellations. They are fictitious constellations which, together with the plants, create a very special “humiverse”, a universe. Through this targeted intervention, the artist superimposes historical references and traditional content from different time periods and links them to the present. The humiverse created by the artist interweaves the newly built, modern residential buildings with the historical ground.

“Humiversum” by Nives Widauer is an art in architecture project by Reininghaus Gründe.
