The form of these seven bollards is consistent with mooring posts used all over the world when berthing ships and boats. Their number corresponds to the seven seas, a term for the oceans that are important for maritime trade and that has existed since classical antiquity. For the artist these objects\u2014in part made from molten-down weapons of war taken from conflict zones\u2014symbolize a safe landing in an equally safe haven. Given the recurring refugee and migration movements to Europe and the perilous sea crossings many have attempted, the choice of these bollards was based not merely on their formal aesthetics but on real life."},"medium":{"label":"Medium","value":"Eisenguss und Bronze, lackiert"},"onview":{"label":"On View","value":"0"},"id":{"label":"Id","value":"10203130"},"title":{"label":"Title","value":"Thank God I'm getting on a boat"},"classification":{"label":"Genre","value":"Object art"},"iiifManifest":{"value":"https://sammlungtest.belvedere.at/apis/iiif/presentation/v2/1-objects-80087/manifest"},"dimensions":{"label":"Dimensions","value":"7-teilig, je ca.: 50 × 120 × 80 cm, 1410 kg"}}]}
