Sollie 17 – 1979-1980 – sculpture

I found this sculpture very interesting as it shows a man in three different positions but the way the heads seem detached due to them not being attached to the body and they are either drawings or photographs that are black and white which juxtapose with the colour of the body and its surroundings causing them to stand out a lot more, they also raise the question why is the head in black and white when the rest is in colour?
