The sculpture "Bodenobjekt" by Willi Siber features a sphere made of steel, characterized by curved, irregular lines. Its smooth and shiny surface wraps around like a delicate ribbon, contrasting with the weight of the material and challenging the viewer's perception. The pink color adds a baroque opulence, reminiscent of unconventional round "Baroque pearls" that are both romantic and playful.
