Believe it or not, this is a seven ton bronze sculpture. It’s only painted white and only appears to be a material as light as plastic. That seven tons is cantilevered off that one arm (i.e. the back of the hand is all that touches the ground.)
It’s called “Planet” and it was sculpted by Marc Quinn in 2008.
Here is a pic from farther away that may offer more sense of scale.
If it’s not apparent from the title, this post features sculptures of a graphic nature. If you tend toward the puritanical, turn back now or be introduced to the wild side of ancient Indian sexual positions.
I love the theme of covering one’s eyes–just not all that carefully.
