#borofsky - Twitter Hashtag

about 2 months ago

To mark my birthday today, I took my self portrait by the #Spree #River, from opposite of the #Friedrichshain district of #Berlin, in front of the famous #statue ensemble by American #artist #Jonathan #Borofsky. Erected in May 1999, the 30-meter-tall artwork appears lightweight, as if molded from paper, despite weighing around 45 tons. In reality, it is made of #aluminum and depicts three figures merging into one another. Through this work, the artist aims to express the idea that the goal of all creative and spiritual traditions is to find wholeness and #unity within the #world. This also alludes, of course, to the #reunification of #Germany, which brought about changes over the decades that are particularly evident from this vantage point (I am standing on the banks of the Spree in Berlin-#Treptow). The Berlin #skyline, clearly visible from here, has undergone significant transformation since the 1990s. © #StefanFWirth Berlin, June 10, 2026 #Photos: © S.F.Wirth

@U_Batke Interessant. Derselbe Künstler, der Molecule Man (obwohl es hier ja “Men” heißen müsste. Sind ja drei) geschaffen hat. #Borofsky

Grafitti by #Rosco and the #Berlin Molecule Men in the background, where #Treptow, Kreuzberg and #Friedrichshain meet. Not many people know this, but there's at least one other installation by the artist Jonathan #Borofsky in Iowa

@Sprachenatelier The Molecule Man are triplets, in fact: I wasn't sure until today but the original Molecule Man made by #Borofsky for #LA is still there, too - @deutschbitte confirmed it beyond any doubt https://t.co/156TvRl2uJ
