'HAN' [him] is a steel sculpture created by the artists Elmgreen og Dragset in 2012, as a counterpoint to 'The Little Mermaid'.

Wait around to see if you can see his eyes blink...

The 2012 sculpture "Han" by artist duo Elmgreen & Dragset is an outstanding example of relational art. What happens when we reflect in art and it throws us back, even in a distorted form? The boy figure is in the same position as Edvard Eriksen's famous sculpture The Little Mermaid, but has changed gender. It's made of stainless steel, so the shiny finish dramatically reflects the surroundings and the viewer himself.

The sculpture is part of the Kulturhavn Kronborg.
