EN: A six-meter-high wooden angel stands on a grass strip in the town center of Kloten.
The body, of which only the head is worked out, consists of a whole tree trunk, some of which is still covered with bark. The wings are made of a large plywood board.
The angel is nowhere documented. I know neither title, nor artist or year of origin.
Angel (from Wikipedia): "An angel, especially according to Abrahamic religions and Zoroastrianism, is a spiritual being superior to humans in power and intelligence. Angels are typically described as benevolent, dreadful, and endowed with wisdom and knowledge of earthly events, but not infallible; for they strive with each other, and God has to make peace between them. Most of them serve either as intermediaries between Heaven and Earth, or as guardian spirits."
DE: Einetwa sechs Meter hoher Holzengel steht auf einem Grünstreifen im Stadtzentrum von Kloten.
Der Körper, von dem nur der Kopf ausgearbeitet ist, besteht aus einem ganzen Baumstamm, der zum Teil noch mit Rinde bedeckt ist. Die Flügel bestehen aus einem grossen Sperrholzbrett.
Der Engel ist nirgends dokumentiert. Ich kenne weder Titel, Künstler noch Entstehungsjahr.
Engel (aus Wikipedia): "Engel sind in den Lehren der monotheistischen abrahamitischen Religionen des Judentums, Christentums und Islams Geistwesen, die von Gott erschaffen wurden und ihm untergeordnet sind."
