Molecule Man




FYI (not written by me!): "This substantial sculpture, created by the renowned American artist Jonathan Borofsky, thirty meters high, weighing some forty-five tons, yet transparent and light, as been on display in Berlin since May 1999. The three aluminium figures, which unite to form a whole, are meant by the artist to remind the viewers "that both man and molecules exist in a world of probability and that finding wholeness and unity within this world remains the aim of any creative and spiritual tradition". Treptow's special location, with the river Spree at hand and the metropolis Berlin just beyond, was predestined for this purpose."
