Original artwork description:

The sculpture human flow – EPIMETHEUS by Manfred Hellweger depicts a stylised human figure created from vertically arranged, welded, square steel segments. The linear structure evokes an interplay between physicality and dissolution; the human body is formed from fragments that simultaneously embody stability and decay, memory and the present.

The matt, clear lacquer finish preserves the raw appearance of the material, emphasising its industrial origins while leaving traces of smoke and subtle colour nuances visible, revealing the creative process.

The title and form refer to the mythological figure of Epimetheus, brother of the forward-thinking Prometheus, who represents looking back and belated recognition. Accordingly, the sculpture testifies to a human existence composed of layers of the past, decisions, fragments, and memories. The 'human flow' thus becomes a metaphor for human existence: a ceaseless process in which identity is constantly changing and never static.

Materials used:

5mm square steel, matt clear varnish
