"Wandlung (transubstantiation)" by Kazuo Katase

This work of art was introduced and erected on the occasion of the millennium celebration of the Bishopric of Bamberg in the year 2007. It was a project of the Villa Concordia, the international artists’ house in Bamberg. Placed on the slopes of St. Michael’s Mount, it is a dry fountain made of concrete, a bowl of granite and imbedded vines. In the run up to the Bavarian Gardening show 2012, this hill side of St. Michael’s Mount was reinstated as a vineyard.
