My Inner Beast

My Inner Beast is a series of one-ton heavy black concrete sculptures, created by the Danish sculptor Jens Galschiot.

[1] A press release by the sculptor stated:[2]I will, over a two day period, erect 20 solid black/brown sculptures over 2 meters in height, executed in reinforced concrete.

Each sculpture will be put in places that are national or local symbols of freedom, justice and democracy in each city.

On the occasion of the 10th anniversary Jens Galschiot and his staff initiated a search to find out what has happened to each of the 20 sculptures.

The anniversary was celebrated during the European Social Forum 12–15 November 2003 in Paris where two Beasts participated in the big manifestation accompanied by Survival of the Fattest and 14 Hunger Boys.
