April 22 – September 24

Participation with 7 sculptures,
among them The Border Beyond

Sculpture Garden Gees

 

The work The Border Beyond is ambiguous: on floats that refer to refugee boats are red banners suggesting a finish and a warm welcome, but also a revolt, or they denote the rigid stop sign. The title refers to a question: is there no more border and have you already crossed it, or has it been closed and is transit prohibited? The sculpture intends to indicate dilemmas of the refugee discussion. The colour and shapes are both inviting as well as threatening. The abstract image on the shore is composed of a male and female form. Does one dare to face the trip?
