Benedikt Fontana
The bronze Fontana memorial dates from the year 1903 and is in memory of Captain Benedikt Fontana. He died in 1499 during the Swabian War at the battle of Calven, allegedly a martyr's death, before the Graubünden army put the Habsburgs to flight.

Gerüst der Grenzen
In the "Gerüst der Grenzen" (Framework of Borders) light sculpture, the borders of Switzerland (in red) and those of the canton of Graubünden (in blue) are superimposed on one another. This layering of the borders creates a special border world. Playing with such border lines emphasises the chance nature of their positioning in a historical context and in today's more island-like reality.
