‘Survival of the Fattest’ in Ringkøbing, Denmark
Ad 728×90
In the quiet fjord town of Ringkøbing, Denmark, stands a bronze sculpture that few forget after seeing. A massive Western woman sits on the back of a starving African man.
In her hands she holds the scales of justice. The work, titled Survival of the Fattest , is a biting critique of global inequality.
Danish artist Jens Galschiøt created the 11-foot-tall (3.5-meter) sculpture in 2002. His subject is the allegorical Lady Justice, traditionally shown blindfolded to indicate impartiality.
