8.5 by 3.0 m metal drawing Hinwil, for the new building of the Swiss Raiffeisen Bank in the town Hinwil.
The search of the requested local connection for the art work, cristalized in these two worlds: the Bachtel mountain and the 'Räderwerk', the wheel work.
The Bachtel is the mountain, which, striking and unmistakable, towers over the town of Hinwil. In its character it is impressive, friendly and above all it is natural. In stark contrast to this, the immense industrial area of Hinwil is stretching out on the plain in front of the town.
I tried to capture these two opposites: the Bachtel with the historic village that nestles on its feet, and the associated, pulsating and non-stop value-creating industrial zone. The Bachtel and the technology, the nature and the industry. Side by side and together, fast and slow, quiet and hectic.
In the middle they overlap. And together they form a great tension-filled unity. And in this duality they are, for me, a symbol for the community of Hinwil.
The vast metal drawing was realized in the Atelier Thommen & Moss, in collaboration with: Uri Moss /IL, Frank Barnes /GB, Jens Schendel /D, Jakob Fliszar/D, Steve Studinski /D, Gaby Wiegelmann /D, Manfred Springer /D and Grex Portmann /CH
