This sculpture is composed of two intersecting 65 foot tall silhouettes (1 male and 1 female), each "drawn" in 10 inch diameter aluminum pipe. As the viewer walks around the sculpture, the image changes from male to female and back again, and of course, one of the most interesting aspects of this sculpture is that you can see and walk right through it.

The sculpture was commissioned for the town of Offenburg by Aenne Burda. The sculpture is meant to commemorate the role Offenburg played in the democratic development of Germany. Offenburg was the starting point of the democratic revolution, which took place in Baden. On September 12, 1847, the Demands of the People of Baden were made public in the Salmen Hall at the assembly of the Confirmed Friends of the Constitution. Two further publicized meetings were held in 1848 and 1849, both ending in an appeal for revolution. After the defeat of the revolution, many sympathizers had to flee or were economically ruined. Nevertheless, the demands of 1847 still hold their position today. Many of them were used in later German constitutions, and are an important part of the present constitution of the German republic.
