Fluidr / Goldener Waller by ramerk

The sculpture "Goldener Waller" mimics the streamlined shape of a catfish, "Waller" in Bavarian. Figurative details such as fins and whiskers were neglected in favor of the idea of movement and the overall form.

The Golden Waller was erected 2019 and is located on a pedestal at the top of the Donaumarkt's outdoor staircase. The sculpture's almost free-floating form extends far out over the flight of steps. It is aligned so that the massive head of the fish sculpture rests on the plinth, while the sinuous body seems to float high above the stairs and slowly tapers towards the Danube.
