VALENTIN CARRON :
Scruffy Mechanics, Gray Cross
Inspired by the Brutalist architecture of Swiss born Walter Förderer, Valentin Carron’s concrete sculpture fuses the ancient and the modern in a single instantly recognizable form. Unlike the summit cross – traditionally the marker of the mountain peak – Carron’s cross is installed at the airport. Ironically this gateway to the skies is also the lowest elevation of the surrounding Saanenland.
