In A Silent Way

Sculptures around the SCHIRN

The multi-part exhibition in SCHIRN’s public spaces translates fleeting natural phenomena into artistic experiences. The works enter into a relationship with their surroundings and the forces of nature — sunlight, rain, and wind, animals, and the rhythms of day and night.
