Description

Bronze sculpture representing "people passing". A nude figure with a obliquely bent forward body runs against a wall. Head, arms, shoulders and chest have already penetrated into the wall and smashed it. At the unveiling of the work a spokesman for Oberpostdirektion Hannover described it as follows: "In relief on an elongated bronze wall showing in a stylized way a passing woman on one hand and moving male figures on the other hand."
