Sculpture The Zone (Ger. Zone (Brücke))

Description

It is a multi-part sculpture placed on the side (left and right) of the park path. It consists of several stone blocks that are placed next to each other at unequal intervals to form a path. The items are sorted from large to small.

Historical background

The sculpture is a gift to the city of Guben on the occasion of the 1985 World Day of Peace and the 750th anniversary of Guben.

“This sculpture […] was created […] along with other sculptures during the 6th Sculpting Symposium, which takes place every two years in Hoyerswerda, under the supervision of academician Jurgen von Woyski. Artists from socialist countries - one woman and nine men - designed over 11 sculptures in the general theme of "Experimental Friendship"; all of them were approached very individually, addressing the most pressing issues of human life".

Quotes from "City Walk" (Ger. Stadtspaziergang).

Artwork review

“Speaking of bridges, we are also talking about the friendship that binds nations. This "bridge" is just emerging in front of us, and it is up to us to continue building this symbolic connection between our friendly countries".
