アウグスブルクのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

The "frame" marks the end of the Land Art trail near Bonstetten. With its grid-like structure, Hama Lohrmann deliberately directs the gaze into the landscape. However, this isn't simply about offering a beautiful view. Quite the opposite: the work obstructs the view and, precisely through this, draws attention to something important to the artist. Those who look through it quickly realize the strong desire to circumvent the obstacle in order to regain a sense of the bigger picture. In an increasingly fragmented world, the ability to see connections is often lost. The "frame" makes this loss visible.

The "Cage" on the LandArt trail in Bonstetten is one of Hama Lohrmann's most compelling works. The sculpture is striking even from a purely technical standpoint: it requires no screws or nails and is held together solely by plug-in connections. As is typical for Lohrmann, its materials come entirely from the forest. At its center stands a sharpened larch trunk, which the artist interprets as a "larval stage." The cage thus becomes a metaphor for humanity: developed enough to sense possibilities, but still trapped in old patterns. At the same time, the work doesn't remain mired in pessimism. For a larva can become a butterfly – and a cage can be broken open.

The wooden stake on the LandArt trail near Bonstetten initially appears to be an oversized signpost. However, Hama Lohrmann's work is conceived as a thought experiment. The pointed stake stands at a crossroads and evokes the idea of human development: upward-directed, ambitious, but not necessarily linear. This is precisely why the deliberately crooked stake is important. Hama Lohrmann initially searched for a straight stake but ultimately opted for the irregular shape because it better reflects a development that can deviate from the "right path." This is complemented by the circle of collected wooden sticks on the ground.

The ceiling painting, depicting the Finding of the Cross by St. Helena, was created by the Pasing artist Hans Kögl at the beginning of the 20th century. The stucco in the style of Bandlwerkstuck dates from 1923/24.
