Stilt Ship
Adrian Künzi is exhibiting several wooden ship sculptures at the Parkhotel Brenscino in Brissago.
The ships stand on wobbly stilts; they are not perfectly stable – they defy gravity. His ships are crafted from oak wood, carved with a chainsaw as a direct, physical tool. The heavy, resistant wood contrasts with the fragile construction – an interplay between mass and apparent weightlessness. The ships stand elevated, removed from the ground, as if they are already on a journey.
Adrian Künzi is interested in lightness: visually, statically, and symbolically. The stilts not only bear weight but also convey the idea of uncertainty and balance. Simultaneously, the ships represent a journey into myth. They serve as a vessel between worlds, between reality and imagination, between departure and uncertainty.

Adrian Künzi creates powerful wooden works using various chainsaws. The saw marks become part of the sculpture.
