Chip
Chip is a public steel sculpture by Stefan Sous in Dortmund, standing on the accessible Platz von Amiens. Its hollow body resembles a shard, with flat and curved metal segments joined into a sturdy form.
Installed in 2007, it echoes the colour and basic shape of the nearby black RWE Tower while opposing its ordered architecture. A small base makes the steel body appear to float above the ground. Sharp edges meet smooth curves, and each viewing angle changes how the material and form appear. In the surrounding urban landscape, this mysterious object invites your own interpretation.
