This is actually a bit of a re-edit of one that appears earlier in the stream. I think it might be a bit better, though I'm still not happy with it. There is some detail in the background (bike rider, couple under umbrella) that I wish I could have captured and brought out better)

Große Gaia Saarbrücken
1984 haben Martin Matschinsky und Brigitte Matschinsky-Denninghoff die Plastik erschaffen. Das Künstlerpaar lernte sich 1952 kennen, arbeitete ab den 1960er Jahren zusammen an Großplastiken, wobei jede Skulptur ein unauflösbares Gemeinschaftswerk war. In Kiel, Hannover und insbesondere in Berlin sind weitere Skulpturen von ihnen im öffentlichen Raum zu sehen.
Die „Große Gaia“, die ihren Namen der Urmutter der griechischen und römischen Mythologie verdankt, wurde von dem Künstlerpaar geformt, indem sie zwei Stahlrohre zu elegant gewellten Bündeln zusammenschweißten. Die Rohre verlaufen anfangs parallel, steigen vom Boden leicht an, umschlingen sich, verharren in der Horizontalen, um dann steil nach oben zu ragen.
Dabei beeindruckt, dass es dem Berliner Künstlerpaar gelungen ist, eine drei Meter hohe und 2,5 Tonnen schwere Skulptur leicht und bewegt erscheinen zu lassen. Das liegt auch an der Oberfläche der Großplastik aus silbrig glänzenden, dünnen Chromnickelstahl-Rohren, in denen sich das Tageslicht verfängt und bricht. Diese glänzende Oberfläche ist aber auch verletzlich. Die „Große Gaia“ musste bereits mehrfach renoviert werden, bereits 1997 vom Künstlerpaar selbst, im Jahr 2008 wurden wieder Schäden festgestellt, und auch bevor sie auf ihren angestammten Platz neben dem Eingang der Modernen Galerie zurückgesetzt wurde, wurde die Skulptur überarbeitet.
In 1984 Martin Matschinsky and Brigitte Matschinsky-Denninghoff created the sculpture. The artist couple met in 1952, worked together from the 1960s on large sculptures, each sculpture being an indissoluble joint work. In Kiel, Hanover, and especially in Berlin, other sculptures by them can be seen in public spaces.
"Great Gaia," which owes its name to the primordial mother of Greek and Roman mythology, was formed by the artist couple welding two steel tubes together into elegantly undulating bundles. The tubes run parallel at the beginning, rise slightly from the ground, wrap around each other, remain horizontal, and then rise steeply upwards.
It is impressive that the Berlin artist couple succeeded in making a three-meter-high and 2.5-ton sculpture appear light and moving. This is also due to the surface of the large sculpture made of shiny silver, thin chrome-nickel steel tubes, in which daylight catches and refracts. But this shiny surface is also vulnerable. The "Great Gaia" has already had to be renovated several times, as early as 1997 by the artist couple themselves, in 2008 damage was again detected, and the sculpture was also reworked before it was put back in its original place next to the entrance to the Modern Gallery.

Yah, the blog is now up! The first feature is about shooting in the rain (if interested, click on the 'Feature' item to the right on the blog). Wishing everyone a great Friday!!!
I enjoy shooting at night, and in the rain. Dark and wet are typically two of the conditions that most photographers either dread or, at the very least, would consider less than 'ideal' conditions in which to take a photo. I guess I lack common sense. :)
Sorry for the low resolution/quality, wish I had a longer lens during afternoon walk today with me. Highly cropped and from far away, but wanted to share this action shot. Hoping someone identifies it...
Ganz im Sinne der Plattenbausystematik wurden die industriell gefertigten Formsteine aus gegossenem Beton hergestellt. Durch das Drehen und Spiegeln eines Einzelelements konnten unterschiedliche Gestaltungsmotive erzeugt werden.
In the spirit of the slab building system, the industrially produced moulded bricks were made of poured concrete. By turning and mirroring an individual element, different design motifs could be created.
