The sculpture that stands in Eggum changes its shape and thus its content sixteen times as you walk around it. From one point of view it resembles a classic portrait, from another the head is upside down

The shape of this peculiar 'Head' statue by the Swiss artist Markus Raetz changes several times as you walk around it. From one angle it looks like a normal head. Viewed from the other side, it suddenly turns upside down.
Nice opportunities for sunset photographers.
The statue is part of an international art collection consisting of 35 art objects placed in the landscape in 33 municipalities in Nordland.
