"Our three Wise Noses? These are three cast iron heads on pedestals, each looking in a different direction. They are positioned in such a way that their collective field of vision is 360 degrees. Together they can therefore see everything. The Wise Noses symbolize a higher authority that decides on to be or not to be, of life and death, of good and evil. Their will is law. And their decision is never questionable."
(Interview with Jos De Gruyter and Harald Thijs in PSSSt, infomagazine Puurs-Sint-Amands)
