There is no snack more popular in Austria than Soletti’s crunchy salt sticks. But what does this have to do with the world famous, stick figures by the Swiss sculptor Alberto Giacometti? In the series Soletti Giacometti, Manfred Erjautz (b. 1966, Graz) portrays our passivity, as we nibble away in front of our TV sets, while watching the swelling stream of refugees on the screen day in, day out.

A second work by Erjautz can be seen from Maritiem Plein: a bronze sculpture in the water.
