Golem, Contemporary art installation in Poznan, Poland

Golem is a metallic sculpture in central Poznan made from recycled industrial materials assembled into geometric shapes. The figure rises to about eight meters and presents a humanoid form constructed entirely from repurposed metal components.

The sculpture was created in 2010 and draws from an ancient Jewish legend about a creature made from inanimate matter. Artists selected this mythological subject as a connection between age-old storytelling and modern artistic approaches.

The sculpture draws viewers' attention to a figure from Jewish folklore through a contemporary lens, showing how old stories continue to inspire new art today.

The sculpture is located in a central area of Poznan and remains accessible throughout the year. The site offers good opportunities for photographs and visits can work well at any season.

The entire structure is made from materials that would otherwise have been discarded as waste, representing a commitment to sustainable artistic creation. This choice shows how creators can transform everyday objects into meaningful works.
