Salzburg - Everyman

“Everyman”: The Indefinite and Universal Figures of Stephan BalkenholIn Kapitelplatz outside of the Salzburg cathedral, there rests a monumental sphere with a golden sheen that reflects the sun. The sculpture – titled Sphaera (2007)- is about nine meters high, including the pedestal. On top of this abstract orb stands a man, made of wood or bronze, dressed in white shirt and black trousers, emanating a neutral expression. It is not a recognizable person, but a figurative depiction of any human figure.
