Gesicht, 2006, bronze, 270 x 270 cm 

 

The Kunstgiesserei has been producing bronze castings for Rudolf Blättler since 1990.

The floor relief “Gesicht” (site: Hohenklingen castle dungeon) had to be cast in two pieces since the entrance to the dungeon is very small. Welding them together and the creating the patina finish for the two parts, therefore, had to be done on site. Illuminated by minimal side-lighting, viewers first encounter the placid and haunting face in the floor relief after looking for a longer time.
