Hippocampus

No guts, no glory! Mutiny on the continent. While riding their seahorse two gladiators will clash like they were Neptune, Spartacus or Ben-Hur? These blood brothers are floating restless oceans. Lances will be pulled and swords will be crossed. In primitive terms they drivel nonsense and surreal one-liners. These last Romans are really lost. Let’s hope they’ll meet the crowd in the middle and be back on speaking terms soon.

This Mirror with its shimmering tummy, will always speak the truth. His guests will always be convinced of their own charm. It will be a dazzling reflection with reality.

Pumpkins

Two giant orange Pumpkins, in each a dancer, will bring you into an autumn fairytale. The dancers will pop up, spy around and anticipate on their surroundings.

As soon as it gets darker, the pumpkins can be illuminated 💡

Santa Barbara

The holy Barbara. Saint Barbara is venerated by Catholics who face the danger of sudden and violent death at work. She is invoked against thunder and lightning and all accidents arising from explosions of gunpowder. She became the patron saint of artillerymen, armourers, military engineers, gunsmiths, and anyone else who worked with cannon and explosives. Following the widespread adoption of gunpowder in mining in the 1600s, she was adopted as the patron of miners, tunnellers and other underground workers. As the geology and mine engineering developed in association with mining, she became patron of these professions.
