Nestled within the heart of Dortmund, the Kind mit Reif installation by Attila Kirilowitsch beckons. This isn’t just another sculpture. It’s a story whispered in steel, a testament to Dortmund’s ever-evolving spirit. The Kind mit Reif, or “Child with Hoop,” originally resided at the Albert-Schweitzer-Förderschule in Kirchender Dorfweg, Herdecke. In 2019, with the school slated for demolition, the artwork found a new home. It journeyed to a roundabout in the heart of Kirchender Dorfweg, becoming a symbol of preservation amidst change. Dortmund, a city steeped in industrial history, constantly reinvents itself. From coal and steel to technology and art, its identity is a tapestry woven with threads of the old and new. The Kind mit Reif embodies this transformation. It represents the enduring spirit of childhood, of play and innocence, set against the backdrop of a city forging its future. As you gaze upon this unique installation, imagine the children who once played near it at the school. Consider the artist’s vision and the journey of the sculpture itself. The Kind mit Reif isn’t just art. It’s a piece of Dortmund’s heart, a reminder of the past and a beacon of hope for the future.
