Olaf Holzapfel - Two woven into one

  • Gallery
The Dresden-born conceptual artist Olaf Holzapfel places a sculptural-constructive work in the open landscape near Amtsberg as a reminiscence of a childhood observation.

Holzapfel, who has already explored the theme of triangulation at documenta 14, has erected an approximately 14-metre-high wooden tower on the Dittersdorfer Höhe near a Royal Saxon Triangulation Column built in 1869. With his work, he not only creates a reminder of the technical revolution of earlier generations, he also makes us aware that we are looking from there into a cultural landscape surveyed and shaped by humans.

Experience the European Capital of Culture Chemnitz 2025 and be inspired by the unique "PURPLE PATH" art and sculpture trail. Curated by Alexander Ochs, the PURPLE PATH connects 38 municipalities with Chemnitz and presents works by international and Saxon artists. Find out more at: chemnitz2025.de
