CONTAINER
The Sculpture Cemetery
The Sculpture Cemetery
The sculpture CONTAINER looks exactly like an ordinary trash container—but a very small one. The artist himself points out that the work has the shape and size of a coffin—a body—and that “container” in English simply means “receptacle.”
There have been many sculptures created about the gravity of death. This one is probably among the more ambiguous ones.

The Artist
Anders Bonnesen
