Cortensteel sculpture of a fish (piranha) with its head in the ground. The sculptor explains it on his website: "Falling from the sky, condensing your bones into iron, diving into the earth: three attitudes that fish are not entitled to. The paradox of the fish directs the eye to what is no longer visible, to the meaning of life."

In July 2003, the Rees Sculpture Park was opened as part of a cross-border project with the Dutch municipality of Sint Anthonis. Until 2011, the art objects by German and Dutch artists were shown for an exhibition period of two years. Since 2011, an exhibition phase has lasted three years. After each exhibition phase, objects were/are purchased by the Koenraad Bosman Foundation and repositioned outside the sculpture park. You will therefore find many other art objects both in the villages in the Rees municipality and in the historic city center, especially on the Rhine promenade, at the Froschteich and in the Stadtgarten.
The Park with an area of around 5,500 square meters is located in the immediate vicinity of the Municipal Museum Koenraad Bosman.
