[DE] Quelle: Münster Marketing der Stadt Münster über die Skulptur "Wasser-Plastik" (German):
"Ein Metallrohr von 16 m Höhe ist mit 46 Lamellenpaaren bestückt, die sich unten horizontal gegenüberstehen. Nach oben hin sind sie um je 1°schräger angebracht, so dass oben ein Winkel von 45° entsteht. Sie bilden eine Übergangszone zwischen Körper und Raum, die das Auge in aufsteigender Bewegung verfolgt. Oben kann Wasser austreten, das beim Fallen einen Gischtschleier und eine entgegengesetzte Bewegung nach unten erzeugt."

[EN] Source: Münster Marketing der Stadt Münster about "Water Sculpture" (English):
"A metal pipe, sixteen meters high, is ornamented on opposite sides with 46 pairs of lamellae. At the bottom, they oppose each other on a horizontal plane. Moving upward, the slant of each lamella is increased by one degree, so that the highest plates are at 45-degree angles. They form a transition zone between material and space, which the eye follows in an upward movement. Water can spout from the top, and as it falls, it creates a veil of spray and an opposing downward movement. In 1958, Mack and Otto Piene were cofounders of the ZERO group in Düsseldorf; they attempted to overcome material limitations through space, light, and movement."
