In the heart of Geuzenveld-Slotermeer, amid the straight lines of the city, RISE invites you to explore its softer side. This sculptural artwork by Caroline Ruijgrok and Sajoscha Talirz (2023) transforms a simple elephant path into a poetic space of Corten steel and stainless steel. The undulating shapes embrace a hidden place, where the hard steel seems soft and the hand lines of local residents show you the way. An encounter between art, nature and community in Amsterdam Nieuw-West.
Caroline and Sajoscha work together on sculptures that invite touch and discovery. Each of them has their own practice, but together they create art that stimulates a physical curiosity. They make work that you want to touch, that you want to walk around.
Every week, the Stadscuratorium posts a Sunday Sculpture on Instagram, the story behind a work of art in public space that gives colour to the city of Amsterdam.
