About the project
AUSTRIA GARDEN – CITY OF VIENNA – GARDEN OF NATIONS
The Viennese section of the Wohl Rose Garden was donated by the City of Vienna in cooperation with the Viennese City Parks Department. The central point of the garden is occupied by a water basin sculpture called “Homage to Anna Freud,” daughter of Sigmund Freud. The fountain commemorates the essential insight Anna and her father had that large parts of the human psyche are hidden from veiw most of the time. A ribbon of rose blossoms alludes to the important role of flowers and plants in the curing of psychological diseases, water spouting from pipes in the ribbon produce a soft rippling movement on the surface of the water.
