Schrödinger's Cat is a life-size cat figure in the garden of the Zu Vier Wachten (At the Four Guards) house on Huttenstrasse where Erwin Schrödinger lived 1921 – 1926. Depending on the light conditions, the cat appears either alive or dead. The garden installation is not just a playful representation of a scientific thought experiment - it also raises important questions about the nature of reality and the role of the observer. By inviting visitors to become active participants in the experiment, Fischer's work highlights the idea that our perception of reality is shaped by our own observations and experiences.

The Schrödinger's cat installation in the garden of the Zu Vier Wachten museum is a whimsical and thought-provoking work of art that invites viewers to engage with complex scientific and philosophical concepts in a playful and approachable way. Whether you are a fan of Schrödinger's cat or simply interested in exploring new ways of thinking about the world, this installation is not to be missed.
