| Quantum Man 2, 2007, Stainless steel, 98” x 44” x 20” |
Julian Voss-Andreae created Quantum Man and Quantum Man 2
in the image of a walking human as a quantum object. It is made up of thin,
vertically oriented steel sheets make up the over eight foot tall sculptures
and is meant to be a metaphor for the world of quantum physics. It symbolizes
matter not being exactly what it seems. From the front, it looks like a solid
object of steel, but from the side it almost entirely disappears. This is an
extremely creative and innovative method of sculpture that is powerful in
capturing illusion.
