Low Profile
This landscape sculpture was designed by architect and artist Gunnar Daan. He drew inspiration from the work of Rudy van den Hoofdakker, professor emeritus of biological psychiatry.

Better known as the poet Rutger Kopland, he published a thesis on sleep disorders in 1966. For his artwork, Daan distilled the theme of sleep from this work. The artwork depicts the sleeping figures of a woman, a man, a dog and a cat. The figures are embedded in the embankment and surrounded by a rust-proof steel border. The steel acts as a sort of low profile (hence the title Low Profile ) filled with earth.
