Actually, the Faces “Flying” would have been more appropriate.
(And Rainer Fetting, the artist, would no doubt have approved. After all, he did title it “Der Flug” – “The Flight”)
This sculpture teeters on the edge of the roof of the Kleine Haus, the stunningly modern extension to the Staatstheater, built 1994 and 1997.
It’s almost as if he’s being consumed by the fire suggested by the sun’s reflection on the roof’s edge.
But Real Life’s Catch me I’m falling captures it perfectly for me.
Maybe Rainer would care to reconsider the name, then?
