LED-Installation, Christoph Rütimann

Under the roof, in the stairway of the station's passenger underpass, Rütimann has installed the "Scaffolding of Borders" made of steel channels, Plexiglas and LEDs. The work is the second part of his three-part art-in-architecture project. If we look in the direction of the train station, we see the amazingly congruent outlines of Switzerland in red and behind it - mirror-inverted - those of the canton of Graubünden in blue. Whoever enters the city from the train station now sees the outlines from behind. Now Graubünden is right, Switzerland is mirror-inverted. The borders are interlocked by the common course over long distances and cross in some places. For Christoph Rütimann, these border lines mean the interplay of cultures, languages, topography, climate, and the also coincidental course of the past, present, and future.
