Sculpture by Christoph Pöggeler, 2001
The pillar statues in Düsseldorf are unique works of art that enrich the cityscape in a special way. Created by artist Christoph Pöggeler, these life-size sculptures stand on advertising pillars and look down on passers-by. These figures have been an integral part of the city since 2001 and their number has increased over time. The ten statues represent everyday people from different walks of life: a businessman, a photographer, a bride, a vacationer, a father with his son and even a homeless person. With his works, Pöggeler wants to focus on the individual and emphasize the importance of the individual in society. These statues are not only works of art, but also a reflection of society and invite us to reflect on the role of the individual in urban space.
