Bank Austria

A reference from the category Art

Bank Austria Park - The Shape of the Wind, Yanran Cao

The shape of the wind, the lift of the air,
Helps a butterfly to drift on currents carefree
Swimming like a fish through the wide expanse.

Silver weighs nothing, high in the sky,
With rhythm they flow—twist and turn,
not to arrive, but to linger.

A shimmer, a shift, a thought not yet formed
When did it start? And where will it end?
Is the wind blowing to you, or away?
How long is a moment that turns into day?

An invisible ocean, boundless and free.
Not for a meaning; simply to be.
Untangle the tapestry, and breathe.

Tucked between meadows, trees and the Old Danube, the 28,000 m² Bank Austria Park invites you to discover 14 contemporary works of art by international artists. Fascinating sculptures, instruments that produce sound with the wind and artfully designed seating areas make a stroll through the landscaped park a special experience for all the senses.
