The Zeppelin Museum invited Ottmar Hörl to develop a new temporary installation featuring 300 serial sculptures from 22 April to 1 May in the run-up to an exhibition entitled "Cult! Legends, Stars and Icons". At the south end of Buchhornplatz, between the Zeppelin Museum and the Medienhaus am See library, the installation covering 200 square metres will turn Friedrichshafen's urban space into an "art location" offering an invitation to communicate.
Hörl's sculpture harks back to the motif of the boy holding an LZ3, depicted on the Zeppelin fountain (1909). The only monument to Count Zeppelin erected and inaugurated during his lifetime, the figure on the fountain symbolises the global success of Friedrichshafen's manufacturing business based on the development of its airship industry. At the same time, it stands for Friedrichshafen itself. After all, the figure and the globe on which it stands, miraculously survived Allied bombing during World War II unscathed. This installation is an invitation to reflect upon the challenges posed by any new beginning.
The sculptures are available for purchase at the Zeppelin Museum shop and online shop. Adopt "your own zeppelin" and take it home. While the "Cult!Legends, Stars and Icons" exhibition is running, you may benefit from a discounted subscription price.
