Commemorative sculpture unveiled on the second anniversary of the crash of flight 4U9525
The commemorative sculpture is in the form of a gold-plated sphere with a diameter of five meters, made up of 149 different elements. The interior of the sphere contains a crystal-shaped cylinder which in turn contains wooden spheres where the relatives of the victims can place their own personal mementos on. As soon as weather conditions allow, the work of art will be erected directly at the site of the accident and the area will then remain permanently barred from public access. The «Sonnenkugel» will, however, be visible to all from a viewing platform set-up by Lufthansa last year at the Col de Mariaud public viewing area.
The artist’s work was chosen in an international competition held last year, which received entries from 23 artists. In a pre-selection process, a jury chaired by Peter Cachola Schmal, Director of the German Architecture Museum in Frankfurt am Main, chose three designs, and the relatives of the victims selected one of these as the winner.
