CO:CO

75 children between the ages of five and 13 worked together with KOERNOE to select artworks for the park. One of the artworks unveiled in Altoonapark is CO:CO, an organic composition made of metal by artists Christine and Irene Hohenbüchler.

Based on drawings and the children’s ideas for the design of Altoonapark, the artists spent several months designing a cavernous sculpture that also resembles an animal of sorts. It offers playful views inside and out, hiding places, and protection. The object is flanked by metal “flagpoles.” The name CO:CO was coined by Arin Berg, one of the co-creators from the art ideas workshop.
