sculpture, square

Light and shade, old and new

A sculpture by Gernot Waldner looking onto the Schlossplatz, the square of the old duke's palace.

What is the sculpture trying to tell us? The official Zweibrücker web site has the answer to that question. In fact, it has two answers. On the German page, we are told the sculpture symbolises the destruction and rebuilding of the town. In the English translation of the same page, we are told the sculpture "represents an open door and invites the viewers to look back into the ducal times".

  2. This is great. The balance of light behind the structure is what really makes it.

    Buenos Aires Photoblog: I thought the purpose might be to look good. I forgot to read the text. It will remain a mystery.
