Vogelnest Sculpture (Sculptoura)

Has been rebuilt and shows itself in its old glory.

Interesting work of art with changing "content" and appearance. That's why it's worth checking back here again and again.

Mathias Schweikle draws his themes from nature
them on a mostly oversized scale into an artistic one
To transfer a concept that brings the viewer to
intended to stimulate reflection about our relationship with nature. So
The bird's nest is made of around 700 squared timbers in eight meters
On the one hand, height as an archetype of security and home,
on the other hand, as a provocation for the users of the motorway
natural idyll thwarted. Schweikle is of course aware that
that harmony with nature represents an ideal, which is why he
sees his projects as playful and not
ideologically overloaded - they serve more as an appeal. At the same time
As a land artist, the sculptor takes the weather into account:
From the outset, his sculptures are not meant to last forever
thought - storms and weathering have damaged the nest several times
Affected or dismantled. The last version was released in
Built in May 2022.
The nest is one of the landmarks of the SCULPTOURA
also used seasonally or is used to present current ones
Subjects. And it's not just eggs at Easter time.
