Sprongen / jumps
In front of the museum's entrance is an on- and off ramp.
I installed a pole with a light attached to it at both the beginning and the end of the ramp, connected with a rope hanging as an upside-down arc above the ramp.
The distance between the lowest point of the rope and the highest point of the ramp is the length of my body, with my arm stretchted up.
I stand at the highest point, let my weight lean to one side, walk a few steps as a start for a jump in order to touch the rope with my hand.
Then I come back to the highest point and move in the other direction.
Each time my walking gets further down and by this speeds up, making me jump higher in order to still be able to touch the rope.
At each run I become more into the lights.
The longest run ends in the highest jump at the end and the beginning of the ramp.
