Nicely decorated, but also very deserted on (winter) evenings. For example: the lights around the city park were already switched off at 8:15 pm.

The oldest part of this ensemble is the Old Bell Tower, which dates back to the Middle Ages (dated 1508). The two bells in the tower are 500 and 700 years old respectively; they are the oldest evidence of Lugau's history. https://www.stadt-lugau.de/webs/index.php?id=149

They look like oversized bottle caps – but Jan Kummer's "Heimat Ensemble II" is more than just XXL decoration. The round objects are reminiscent of DIY crafts from East German times, repurposed everyday items, and creative solutions to shortages. The resemblance to Mickey Mouse? No coincidence. Three circles, a global symbol. Kummer translates this pop icon into standard-sized, tinny spikes – painted in color, somewhere between an artistic figure and a critique of consumerism. A throwaway product becomes a monument, a memory becomes conceptual art. https://www.zeitsprungland.de/poi/jan-kummer-heimat-ensemble-ii

More information at https://chemnitz2025.de/purple-path/ Jan Kummer "Heimat Ensemble II" in Gersdorf (another group entitled "Heimat Ensemble" is located at the Garagencampus in Chemnitz) Material: fiber-reinforced resin, steel "The group "Heimat Ensemble II" by the painter, object, and conceptual artist Jan Kummer consists of equally sized, round elements reminiscent of enlarged bottle caps. The models for Kummer's sculptures seem to originate from the aimless tinkering in the private sphere of a GDR household, where anonymous everyday materials were transformed into individual objects. The vertically or horizontally assembled or center-folded elements with inward-curved edges and 21 prongs in black, red, blue, and green are reminiscent of Mickey Mouse, arguably the most famous fictional character in the world. In the 1930s, the later world-famous American illustrator and media entrepreneur Walt Disney created these from just three black circles together. Kummer transfers the famous silhouette to the form of patented, DIN-standardized everyday objects. Through playful and ironic exaggeration, allusion, and scaling, disposable products made of thin sheet metal, actually designed for single use, are elevated to permanent works of art. Jan Kummer, born in Weimar in 1965, now lives and works in Chemnitz. In his imagery, he incorporates narrative elements that create connections between a world of memory consisting of presumably fragmented set pieces and the present he observes. With the sculpture group Heimat Ensemble II, the artist cites the idea of home-grown crafts and handicrafts, as well as regional customs. With the motif of remembered self-perception, he also creates a retrospective on the GDR's scarcity society: Everything was tested for its usability, cleverly utilized in a second production cycle, and today, memory becomes art.
