조각가는 Bernd Göbel(1942년생), 할레출신의 조각가이자 Burg Giebichenstein 예술학교 교수이다. 1986~1989년 사이 제작, 1990년 라이프치히시에 기증되어 공개 설치됨. T자형 구조물로, 높이 약 1.90m 기둥과 길이 약 2.90m의 횡대가 연결된 형태. 지나가는 사람들이 밑을 지나가기 어려워 일종의 ‘깨어있는 사고를 유도하는 구조적 장치’ 역할을 한다. 상단 횡대에는 각각 1.40m 높이의 다섯 명의 나체 인물이 균형을 잡듯 서 있으며, 이들은 서로 반대 방향을 쳐다보며, 각자 고정된 원칙에 매몰된 듯 보인다. 각 인물에게는 황금색으로 강조된 소품이 부착되어 있습니다. 예를 들어 -Pädagogikerin (교사): 나무망치 -Diagnostiker (진단가): 청진기처럼 보이는 귀에 꽂는 관찰기 -Rationalisatikerin (이성주의자): 톱 -Stadtgestaltiker (도시 설계자): 월계관과 폭탄의 도화선 손잡이 -Kunsttheoretiker (미술 이론가): 코와 귀 이 조형물의 상징성 및 메시지는 “반(反)영웅”의 다섯 인물로 이 조각은 주류 이념이나 논리에 동조하는 인물이 아닌, ‘자신만의 원칙에 맹목적으로 매달리는 인물들’을 풍자적으로 표현한다. 즉, 시대의 흐름에 어울리지 않는 ‘시대착오적 인물들’을 비평하는 작품이다. 기둥과 횡대에는 고전 문학과 사상가들의 인용구가 새겨져 있다. -“자기 원칙을 위해 목숨을 희생할 수 있다—하지만 오직 자신의 목숨만.” (Rolf Hochhuth) -Goethe, Brecht, Michail Gorbatschow, Stefan Heym 등의 인용문들이 포함되어 있으며, 인간의 사유, 양심, 사회 관념을 반추하도록 유도한다.

Schöne Kunst

Super cooles Teil, sehr viele Menschen betrachten es. Wenn man eine Zeit verweilt ist es sehr lustig die Leute zu beobachten. Achtung es gibt auch eine kleine Stolperfalle!!!
