Base setup
Snowsculpting is a tough business. It is real sport and comparable to any other extreme sports around. Catering is key.
Blocks waiting for us!
Finally we arrived in Oulu. Blocks are waiting for us. Tomorrow we will start carving. However, snow is not perfect. Much too warm. Currently we have 2 degrees plus. Very unusual for that time of the year. Tomorrow will be the lottery for the Blocks. Hope we get one, not too much exposed to sun.
Close to the polar circle
Just one hour away from our final destination. Lothar brought some Bean Soup. Unfortunately the soup did not make it to Oulu. Bit of a mess on Lothars underwear 😂
Reaction to our application letter
On Facebook, there was an reaction to our application letter. It is quite funny so I have to share it here:
Black Forest – Sculpture 2019
Lothar did an outstanding job and created a beautiful piece of art. The sculpture is quite challenging but we a confident to carve it out of the block quite nicely. As Lothar always said: “The sculpture is already in the block, we just have to carve it out”
Name of the sculpture is “In the Matrix” – An abstraction of how social networks are determine our lives. There is always an exit, an open part of the fence. A life without being networked. But no one is brave enough to take the step.
News!
2019 Team Germany – Black Forest is back at the outstanding Snow-Call Snow-Sculpting Competition in Oulu, Finland. We are one of the selected Teams from all over the world. Stay tuned and check the updates on this page!
Sculpture selected!
Yesterday Dethlef, Lothar and I met to discuss about the sculpture. Finally we decided for one of the most beautiful one I have ever seen. The name of the sculpture is “Caught in the Matrix” and is a homage on social networks and what it can do with individuals. Stay tuned, I will post a picture as soon as I got the green light to do so from the team.
