Hochet is a sculptural installation by artist Lucas Erin (2024). The work takes the form of a suspended mobile composed of a punching bag combined with oxidised steel, brass, and bronze elements, complemented by Swiss bells. By transforming a symbol of strength into an instrument of resonance, Hochet explores the tension between power and fragility, inviting reflection on vulnerability, care, and human connection.

Trading
The token is listed and can be traded in the Taurus T-DX platform
Pricing
The initial valuation of the token (CHF 23.33) is calculated by dividing the price paid by Bank Syz to acquire the artwork with the number of tokens issued during the Initial Token Issuance. Upon listing on the Taurus T-DX platform, the price of the Syz Art Token will be available directly on the T-DX platform and will reflect its market valuation (classical rules of supply and demand). Because the token price is defined by its market valuation on a digital exchange, it can vary from the theoretical price that could be derived from the re-valuation of the piece of art performed once a year by Syz Collection’s curator.

2023 - The piece of art - Dreamstime
Source
Sarah Benslimane, Dreamstime, 2022, Diverse materials, 150 × 236 cm
Dreamstime is a masterful composition crafted with flat glass beads, shells, pebbles, gravel, artificial grass, lacquer, digital printing, and a key. The interpretation of this work aligns seamlessly with the essence of our bank and the community we have built together. The artwork symbolises the idea that each individual, represented by the pebbles in the rectangles, is both a global and unique entity, acting as the keystone of our system. The metaphor beautifully captures the essence of our dedicated team, where every member contributes to the sum of the whole, forming the bedrock of our company.
