VOR ORT – New object at the art place Graben

With his art object, the sculptor Hannes Zebedin refers to the immediate luxurious shopping environment at Graben and to the commercial presentation on site.

In his two-part sculptural arrangement, a wall and the garments embedded in concrete within it allude to wealth and to many people’s longing for prestige. With the abstracted flat landscape and the clothes lying on it, the refugee theme is pointed out and made visible what people leave behind to get to a longed-for, better place.
