Lonely Planet review for Statue of Hammering Man
The moving metallic shadow of a hammering man towers five storeys above the street. Funded by a local insurance company, the superman of a blacksmith has been silently hammering since 2002. It was made out of 50 tonnes of steel by American artist Jonathan Borofsky, whose art is humanist but mechanical, simple but thought-provoking. Is work just a meaningless ritual that dominates our lives?
