In Heinz Julen’s universe
Shopping in Zermatt
Zermatt is graced with contemporary flair thanks to the work by artist and architect Heinz Julen, who exhibits at Bahnhofstrasse, 7B. His Weiland-Series started with metal cubes thrown from Matterhorn peaks, capturing their fall as a metaphor for life’s journey. Over time, the cubes evolved, using more intense colours and broken pieces, symbolizing creation and transformation, with a nod to Pop Art. The Qlock-Two transforms time-telling into a visual experience, where words, rather than numbers, spell out the current time. At one point, inspired by its minimalist aesthet-ic, Heinz Julen painted an original Matterhorn on its cover, merging his art with the clock’s design for a unique Alpine piece.
