No One Thinks Alone
Van Santen & Bolleurs are commissioned to illustrate a feature on the tension between the individual and the group — how we are shaped, consciously or not, by the people around us. The duo turned to Rodin's The Thinker. Then they took it apart and rebuilt it entirely from train figurines, placed one by one with a tweezer, until hundreds of tiny human forms cohered into the unmistakable silhouette of a figure lost in thought.
It's a piece that rewards looking twice. And then it asks you a question you'll keep thinking about long after you've put the magazine down.
How do you think?
