This 4m high work, called Ciężar niewłaściwy (Inappropriate Weight) is located outside of Łódź Fabryczna Train Station, at the walkway from the station to go to EC1 centre, which looms impressively in the background. The combination of the fantastic statue, Fabryczna and EC1 really emphasise the changing fortunes of the city. The statue and was created in 2017 by artist and sculptor Tomasz Górnicki and artist Chazme (both from Warsaw) for project 'UNIQA art Łódź'. The work is made up of 3 elements: metal, concrete and acrylic. The statue element shows a statue of a man supported on metal frames, rushing as he's late for his train. The base of the monument is now rusted (which was the intended effect!).
