Jenny Holzer

Memorial at the main square in Erlauf, 1995

The memorial of the American artist Jenny Holzer consists of three parts: In an octagonal pillar made of granite, a headlamp was inserted, the beam of light in the dark far into the sky. In the floor panels that lead to the stele, are engraved associative aphorisms of the artist on the subject of war and its everyday life, which sound like phrases. The planting was conceived and realized in cooperation with the landscape architect Maria Auböck.
