2024 I Skulptur / Installation
At the invitation of SBB, the Olten Art Museum is presenting contemporary art in the former service area at Olten station. The 25th intervention was created by the artist Sonja Feldmeier.
Sonja Feldmeier has created a 2.50 m tall sculpture for this presentation, an oversized match. It is completely burnt down except for its flammable head, the angular body is charred and bent. The red ignition head glistens and promises explosive power, but the resource for the fire that could ignite it has already been completely consumed - a powerful image for the paradox of potency and powerlessness that characterizes our fragile present.
