Hochsitz – a striking installation featured in the Swiss Art Award exhibition – seamlessly marries artistry and practicality. The piece cleverly fuses a wooden frame with a metal base, establishing a juxtaposition between organic warmth and industrial starkness. The wooden frame, encased in soothing blue fabric, creates a captivating contrast between soft and hard, offering a compelling visual and tactile experience.
What sets Hochsitz apart is its invitation for the audience to directly engage with it. This walkable sculpture encourages visitors to explore the interplay between art and utility. As one navigates the contours of the wooden structure enveloped in serene blue fabric, a unique dialogue unfolds, prompting us to question the boundaries between sculpture and the everyday object.
Intriguing, elegant, and thought-provoking, Hochsitz stands as a testament to the limitless creativity within the realm of contemporary art, where form and purpose coexist harmoniously.
