Unzeitgemäße Zeitgenossen, Bronze sculpture in Leipzig, Germany.
The Untimely Contemporaries sculpture displays five naked figures standing on a horizontal beam near Augustusplatz, representing different professional roles through their attributes.
Bernd Göbel created this bronze artwork between 1982 and 1990, presenting it as a gift to Leipzig following the German reunification period.
The figures embody specific roles including rationalist, urban planner, diagnostician, pedagogue, and art theorist, reflecting professional archetypes in German society.
Located at Grimmaische Straße 30, the sculpture creates a narrow passage for pedestrians, requiring them to interact with the installation while passing through.
Select elements of the sculpture feature gold-plated details, including a saw, ear trumpet, ears, and nose, adding metallic contrast to the bronze composition.
