What whispers on the wind, frozen in concrete and enamel? Here at the Spinieu Installation, created by the artistic trio of Martin Frommelt, Hanny Frick, and Florin Frick, we unravel a tale woven not in royal decrees or alpine echoes, but in the very fabric of Liechtenstein’s identity. Spinieu itself, a intriguing word, invites us to ponder its meaning, a puzzle piece reflecting the multifaceted nature of this small nation.

Spinieu, rooted in the earth yet reaching towards the sky, embodies the spirit of Liechtenstein. A small nation making a bold statement.
