Metalmorphosis - Giant Head

This is one attraction that is a lot more impressive in person than what I expected. It was really neat how the head parts just randomly moved. It wasn't constantly moving, but was neat when it did. It is the middle of a small infinity pool, which I think just adds to the piece. I had a ton of fun just walking around the fountain, playing in the water. [Danielle, 09/30/2011]

Metalmorphosis. Metalmorphosis - Giant Head

On March 24, 2010, Metalmorphosis was still available for pictures. [David Scott, 03/25/2010]

[RA: It's art, but with a big liquid metal nod to Lawnmower Man and the Terminator.]

Metalmorphosis - Giant Head

Artist David Cerny has long been well-known in art circles in both the Czech Republic and abroad, but it has been a while since he made headlines with a new public sculpture. No longer. Witness "Metalmorphosis," a piece which forms part of a public fountain at an office park in the US city of Charlotte. The piece is a 22-ft. tall structure with horizontally-moving stainless-steel plates which form, and re-form, a giant metal head. [Dan, 07/03/2009]

[RA: This giant head is at its most ominous when photographed at night.]
