At an altitude of 2,400 metres, only accessible on foot, the temporary sculpture ‘Sasmujel’ 2019 was a tribute to the first ascent of the Sassolungo 150 years earlier. Hubert Kostner wrapped a total of 10,500 metres of climbing rope - some new, some used - around the mighty boulder (4 x 5 x 6 m approx.). The mountain, as it ‘binds’ man, is bound back by the artist. Ropes as the most important aid for mountaineers and as a social component of a rope team dissolve the originally hard and rough surface of the stone. A second skin turns the angular solitaire into a ‘soft stone’ - ‘Sasmujel’ in Ladin.
* The pictures are for sale. A price list is available at reception.
