Abstracted silhouet of human figure from corten steel. On the sculptor's website it is described as follows:
The ground measurement of Mensch A4 … is 210 × 300 cm – the dimensions of a DIN A4 sheet multiplied by 10. Rectangular and flat, the steel sheet is an allegory of standardisation. In the sheet he cut a curved contour line of a figure and bent it upward. Thus he created the figure's "shadow", an empty space through which something new can grow. Above it comes the Surface in motion – beyond the outline.

In July 2003, the Rees Sculpture Park was opened as part of a cross-border project with the Dutch municipality of Sint Anthonis. Until 2011, the art objects by German and Dutch artists were shown for an exhibition period of two years. Since 2011, an exhibition phase has lasted three years. After each exhibition phase, objects were/are purchased by the Koenraad Bosman Foundation and repositioned outside the sculpture park. You will therefore find many other art objects both in the villages in the Rees municipality and in the historic city center, especially on the Rhine promenade, at the Froschteich and in the Stadtgarten.
The Park with an area of around 5,500 square meters is located in the immediate vicinity of the Municipal Museum Koenraad Bosman.
