Tall Tale at Hamburg Library

Paul Heymont 12/19/205:00 AM

And it's a tall building they're attached to, this sky-scraping couple, standing in front of the Central Library building in Hamburg, Germany.

They are the work of Stephan Balkenhol, a German artist who works in a number of media, both 2-D and 3-D. As with this pair, he intentionally gives his figures blank expressions, leaving it up to viewers to interpret.

In his own words: “My sculptures don't tell any stories. Something mysterious is hidden in them. It is not my job to reveal it, but that of the spectator to discover it. "
