THE MOMENTUM 2016 – ARTWALK in Lech

In the balance of life: momentum as a symbol of upswing and downswing

The sculpture ‘The Swing’ at the ARTWALK in Lech embodies one of the most characteristic themes of the Arlberg: the swing. In winter, we encounter it in deep snow or when stopping for a bite to eat – here, however, it becomes a metaphor for life itself. The sculpture symbolises the upswings and downswings, the constant movement and change that characterise our lives.

 

The question about the condition

Momentum of life

The contrast between the sturdy Corten steel column and the sweeping, polished metal bands illustrates the balance between stability and dynamism that characterises life. ‘The swing’ symbolises the rhythm of life – sometimes calm, sometimes powerful – and demands flexibility and adaptation, both in the terrain and in our thoughts.

 

“We move with momentum, upward or downward – digress or adapt, things run smoothly or pass corners – like our well-being or our daily perception.”

Nothing is anything without motion

For hotelier Ingo Strolz, ‘The Swing’ is also a symbol of his journey as an entrepreneur, characterised by highs and challenges. Just like the swing, it is the art of always staying in motion, adapting and maintaining balance. The sculpture invites us to pause and consciously perceive the vibrations of life.
