We took a look around Bad RagARTz and took a slightly different view of the works than you find on the event’s website, focusing our photos on exciting excerpts and interesting details.

The sculptures in Bad Ragaz and Valens this year have the motto “Distance sharpens the gaze”. The idea came from the “Weltanschauungsmodell” by the artist Ottmar Hörl, who set up 50 figures in Graz in 2016 and kept changing their location in the city.

Famous thinkers such as Friedrich Hebbel, Goethe or Sigmund Freud have already dealt with the worldview. They were concerned with the question of how a person understands his or her existence in the world. A question that many of us have been asking ourselves more often in recent months.
