Germany, 1955
plastic, metal, ceramic, imagination
Here you can see one of the hidden Gartenzwergen by Rainer Fischbach carefully positioned around the city. Under each of these grey and soulless bunkers, installed sporadically throughout Newtown, hides a beautifully hand-crafted garden gnome. A comment on the loss of magic in today’s urban landscape, Fischbach wishes to inject old-world mysticism back into the imagination of the modern child.
