As part of this year’s ‘Day of Francophonie’ the US artist Alexander Viscio presented the project ‘Outsourcing to Sarajevo’. This is a sculpture that Alexander will display as part of marking the 100 years since the start of WWI on 28 June in Sarajevo, between the History and National Museum.
The impressive sculpture is in the form of the word ‘outsourcing’ that is 21 meters long, six meters wide and two meters high, and will be made primarily out of wood.
Viscio told journalists in Sarajevo that the sculpture is only two meters high because he did not want to make a monumental sculpture that is too high.
‘’In the 20th century most of the sculptures are a static object in space. This is why in the 21st century I decided to make a sculpture that would be more interactive and accessible to people, and you can do so because you would allow people to enter the sculpture, and for the sculpture to no longer occupy space, but rather for people to occupy the space of the sculpture’’, said Viscio.
He explained that the sculpture thus becomes interactive and people who enter it become a part of it. He chose the place between the museums because people in vehicles and pedestrians could even see it, and he noted that this was the place chosen because it can be seen from various angles.
