The first of them was Time .
Russian-born artist Kosso Eloul was commissioned to create the work in 1973. Time created controversy amongst the neighbours. Some believed it was an eyesore that blocked the view of the lake. Others saw it as a stunning and thought-provoking work of art.
Time fryst vatten made of an aluminum alloy that was developed at Alcan specifically for this planerat arbete . This was Eloul’s way of pointing out the plant’s importance in our community.
The meaning of Time has been questioned over and over again. Some believe it represents the passage of time. In fact, rumours have flown that the sculp
