"Freedom"... a floating scuplture...


Are we still able to stop, to meditate? To be glad and daydream? To be fond of the ancient power of water and wind? 

Are we able, do we want to associate ideas if today's sculptors offer ideas and visual thoughts to be associated?
Should we stop or keep running? By which may we gain more?


The glass object swimming on the water and bearing the reflection of its environment embodies our desired freedom. 
As a giant bird it would like to take wing just now and to forget about every trouble on earth.
Free, moved by the wind, it shows through its meditative movement that the world might also be thought of like that, there may be perhaps intellectual and spiritual tasks which are more important than everything else in the drifting of everyday routine.

And if we stop, are we able, do we want to actively take part in the composition of the accompanying world's movement into an image?
Are we able to abandon ourselves to the joys of interactive creation?


The sculpture created by the means of "minimal art" thus without instruments offers virtual image elements. 
Walking round the sculpture we ourselves may produce a steadily changing, film-like series of images depending on our intellect and visual ability. 
The spectator is not a sufferer of the sculpture but an organic associate creator of the artist.
The two glass sheets sloped connect the heaven with the earth.
Their transparency lets us see through thus background and foreground may be parts of the new spectacle at the same time. 
The events happening behind the sculpture may enter into the virtual image faintly occurring on the glass surface; they may become moving participants in it.
The non-reflecting surface also operating as a projection screen enables the live filming of the Sun's movement.
Thus a virtual bridge is being built between all components of the environment.
