Where Am I?

I had to laugh in astonish- and bemusement when reading the leaflet on this artwork at sculpture by the sea.

It´s really called "Orientierungshilfe" as in "aid to orientation", landmark.

Why I had to laugh?
I have no sense of orientation.
In Germany you have (too) many signs, but in Australia we got lost so often!

In Australia people assume you at least are a tad capable of finding your own way.
Be it climbing the Flinders Ranges or finding the way with your 4WD down in Litchfield National Park where I really feared to crash the car.

Find your own way, but don´t get lost!

You find help though, like this:

But why "Orientierungshilfe"?
The artist is Wendelin Pressl from Austria, hence!

He knows about those landmarks when hiking in Australia and says his work "comments on the idea of national borders and appropriation".
Yes, he studied in Vienna, too.
Sadly no mentioning of why he participated in this way.

But for the always lost one it just fits, no? ;-)

Art. "In the eye of the beholder" one of the artists said.
Art to me is also memories, ideas.
By golly, those Flinders Ranges really gave me the rest!!!!
I think I even cried at one point and when we arrived at the tent over 8 hours later Ingo cooked something with pepper, but I was so exhausted I fell asleep before I could eat!
(To be fair, my arm was freshly healing from a break and inflammation and climbing down was immensly difficult).

Today I can laugh about it, but back then... so not!
The landmarks aren´t close to each other, either! Find your own way, be clever enough! :-)
