Alois Lindenbauer :
Market Place in Edlitz

Due to my constant observations of fluids and their behaviour in motion, I feel very close to fountains. Two blocks taken from the hills. Blocks as bedstones in the sense of water. Visible in the same way that the surrounding landscape lies over its crystalline interior. Movement of the water. Movement of the landscape. Movement of people. The space within stone, between stones, is the space of the water. Visible, the constant dissolving and combining of the two. A kind of source horizon forms there. The goodness of the water, on all sides and parts, enough, above as below. The small, easily moved depressions below the valley, from which come the channels, should have something of the moment where water and both hands can come into contact. So it is that the fountain sculpture clarifies the movements of the water in condensed form. A broad spectrum opens up, just as water moulds our surroundings, moulds our lives. It allows transitions to be discovered, almost playfully, between spatial densities, between the archaic and the now, the Alps and the ocean.
