New glazing of the death chapel in Klingenbach / Klimpuh
2018
death chapel, Klingenbach
The chapel was built in 1967; the original glass work was by Ino Frank (1935-1992). Due to the irreparable damage to the glass, a charged, anonymous competition for the redesign of the windows was carried out by the Building Department of the Diocese of Eisenstadt and by the parish of Klingenbach. Stefan Glettler was awarded the order for the design as the highest ranked competitor.
The glass work is painting.
6 millimeter thick float glass is painted using a mixture of proprietary pigments and special oil. After drying, the glass is fired industrially. Only through the fire does the glass retain its color and durability, and at the same time, hardened safety glass is produced.
In its complexity, this work of art is at once a sculpture, a light object, a color play, a canopy, a gate, a playground and an atmospheric place. It is also architecture and creates a space to be traversed. The workable light sculpture is positioned in a very special public space, in the city park, near the Ententeich, under the Burggarten, where the pedestrian path curves past the huge oak in the direction of Parkhouse and Forum Stadtpark. A magical place where the roof-like object of acrylic glass, which partly floats above the water of the duck pond, the pedestrian path and the meadow creates a burst of color and light.
The Bergstadt is an art object composed of a white base and a roof made of colored acrylic glass pyramids. The ornamental design is both roof and projector. Providing a dialogue between the surrounding mountains, the city and its inhabitants and visitors, the object symbolizes the identity of the city of Innsbruck.

The staircase's design reinterprets the traditional Japanese Box Stairs and provides the basic structure for a work of art in the form of a railing. The handrail, made of braided cow leather, is a three-dimensional drawing that stretches through two floors.
