COORDINATES 2017 – ARTWALK in Lech

The question of goals in life

The ‘Coordinates’ sculpture on the ARTWALK in Lech not only marks the geographical location of Lech, but also invites you to reflect on your personal goals and the path towards them. The coordinates N 47.207048 E 10.139040 mark the end of a journey – reaching a place of refuge in the Alps. But the sculpture also poses the question of what other goals there are that really bring us fulfilment.

 

Life as a path to the goal

N 47.207048 E 10.139040

Anyone standing in front of this sculpture has reached a geographical destination, but the sculpture inspires us to reflect on our own goals in life: are they things we seek in the distance, or do we ultimately find them within ourselves and our immediate surroundings? The sculpture symbolises this inner and outer journey – the balancing act between the pursuit of success and the search for satisfaction.

 

“A man travels the world over in search of what he needs and returns home to find it.”
George Moore

Finding one’s home on the ARTWALK in Lech

A symbol of lightness and openness

The filigree structure of the sculpture, only anchored at one point, seems to float freely and embodies the lightness that can accompany us on the way to our goals. Its delicate lines form a globe – a gift to all those who are travelling, whether on geographical paths or on their personal journey through life.
