Himmelsflügel

The object “Sky Wing” was planned by Atelier rosalie as a temporary spatial sculpture above the Pegnitz for the Blue Night 2006 in Nuremberg. 130 blue balloons floated seemingly weightlessly above the river in the form of an approx. 52 m long wing. The balloons, up to 2.5 m in size, were held in place by a thin rope net anchored in the Pegnitz.

Commitment to the Arts

The Stuttgart artist rosalie, born Gudrun Müller in Gemmringen in 1953, died in 2017 at the age of 64. Werner Sobek repeatedly worked closely with rosalie and supported her projects such as the “Sky Wing” in Nuremberg the “Kinetic Light Sculpture” in Hamburg, the “Light Vortex” in the Schauwerk Sindelfingen and the “Butterfly Mobile” in the Olgäle Hospital in Stuttgart.
