Memorial to the 25th anniversary of the Chernobyl nuclear disaster, the diorite rock comes from Czechia. I was there at the unveiling in Bamberg (2011), in the presence of the artist. Because of its extreme charisma, the turtle has the outline of a world map on its ground shell. The sculptor and painter with a master's degree from the Hongik University in Seoul was then a master student of Prof. Leo Kornbrust (Munich Academy of Fine Arts). He received international awards and prizes. Many of his sculptures are in public spaces in Germany, South Korea and Japan. Lothar Götter later based himself on the motif of the turtle lying helplessly on its back, see his large-format drawing ("Search: Gods").
