"COR" - At the top of Peter Senoner's long, downward-sloping slope, the bronze statue of COR, a walking messenger sprung from mythology, rises against the light in the infinity of the landscape. The body of CORS, a hermaphroditic and genderless figure - cyborg - halfway between man and god, represents a visionary prototype into which artificial prostheses have been implanted. As if projected into a virtual bridge linking the physical and natural reality of the primordial realm with the futuristic and technological dimension of a "plastic-metaphorical" cosmos, Senoner's figure suffers the "parasitic attack" of a writhing tentacle that keeps it stuck on earth for a while longer.The ethereal lightness of the slope, which contrasts with the heaviness of the matter, allows the sculptor to imagine virtual trajectories that begin with the outlining of oblique lines that intersect vertical and horizontal planes and bore into the landscape. These lines converge at the top towards the upright figure of COR, or experience a downward pull in the helical movement of Pseudoplatanus.
In the complexity of the sculpture, the moment the visible aspect is completed by the eye of the viewer pondering the symbolic value of the forms, one senses its intangible breath, the profile of its ramifications with space.
