“Did those sculptures always look like that?” a tourist asked me the other day, pointing at Elementarer in disbelief. “Like giant, metallic dandelions?”. I chuckled. “They’re certainly eye-catching, aren’t they?”. Elementarer, created by Lisa Jeannin and installed as recently as 2024, isn’t your typical sculpture. These metal behemoths, with their intricate, spiky forms, seem to reach for the sky. Imagine them catching the sunlight, casting playful shadows across the ground as you walk by. Jeannin, I’ve heard, drew inspiration from the simple beauty of nature, perhaps the humble dandelion seed head, enlarged to a scale that demands attention. It’s a testament to Malmö’s commitment to contemporary art, adding a touch of whimsy to the cityscape. Don’t just admire them from afar. Take a closer look, walk among them, and let the play of light and shadow tell their own story.
Hauptfriedhof
Lost in time stands the Hauptfriedhof Trier. A tranquil expanse in the bustling city it’s more than just a cemetery.
