Ottmar Horl - Sponti Gnome signed
color orange
In 1994 Ottmar Hörl's installation "Fliegender Wechsel" was performed in Seligenstadt (Germany). 1,000 Blue Gnomes divided into group formations and over the course of several days, they kept appearing in new locations and formations that city, such as downtown, industrial area, river bank, station area, etc.
Then they were left to their own devices. The installation stopped as soon as the gnomes were taken away by people. This effect of the disappearance of the entire dwarf population is deliberately calculated and desired, it is a goal of the entire project.
In 2006 a new edition of these gnomes was released, now also in various colors. And they are spread all over the world.
