Human plants made from steel

22 sculptures – all in all 3.2 tonnes of steel and iron – all of which tell a story which mirrors mankind. Perhaps these strange beings from Ludwig Haas – half human, half plant - wish to annoy us in our vanity and ignorance ("planting us as fools"), but maybe they wish to touch on our innocence.

They wish to make us aware of how we treat Nature and with their life cycle, which ranges from the actual creation, growth, flourishing, to an unexpected end, they wish to point out new possibilities of how we can live together hand in hand.
