This figural group is very popular in the Giardino. Visitors look for »their« star sign and compare the physiognomy with the characteristics attested to by their sign. The sculptures let that wash over them with equanimity and continue to cast their gaze steadfastly towards the horizon while we closely study their nuanced facial characteristics. The location of the group was almost coincidental, like a photo should be made. The steps permit the figures to be arranged so that none obscures another. Daniel Spoerri had them positioned there immediately.
