'Vagabund der Finsternis' is the reversal of a classical bathysphere. The pressure of water created in a six-metre .column of water. is diverted through a flexible tube into the sphere. The pressure becomes evident to the beholder in three-dimensional form via the rubber membranes bolted onto the mushroom-shaped elements (gravitational energy made visible three-dimensionally).
