Memento mori in Haus

Sundial at the winter museum in Haus, Austria

A thoughtful adage seen at a sundial in Haus written in old German: ‘Eyne von diesen wird auch die deyne seyn’. It means: One of these hours will be yours. This writing is a kind of memento mori reminding us that everybody will die one day.

The Golden Calf by Hollein

Artwork by Hans Hollein in Graz, Austria

This artwork by Hans Hollein stood in front of the Neue Galerie in Graz for several weeks. The former tank wagon for petroleum is named “The Golden Calf”. I guess this refers to the golden calf in the bible and the importance of oil for mankind.
