Playable Skultpur Harxi

Playable sculpture

The idea: a mythical creature from Harxheim's underground has awakened and is now suddenly lying in the bosom of the community centre almost ready to fall asleep again.

The sculpture is built using the ferrocement technique. Two crawling tunnels allow crawling in through the mouth, through the belly and out again at the tail. An independent concrete ceiling forms the base for the dragon figure. The colour intensity due to the covering with mosaic materials (glass, tiles, porcelain stoneware) is always maintained, the covering is robust, frost-proof and can be experienced haptically.
