These are on the entrance to the Anatomy / Biology building at a London university, although we really think they would be better placed on the Psychology building :)
Now these are not only door handles, but a form of simplified Rorschach test. You see, one handle is a nude male and the other a nude female … surely even if you are quite definite about your inclinations, there is a lot to be revealed, psychologically, by which handle you choose to grab!
You couldn’t possibly clean these door handles. Doesn’t the patina do a gorgeous job of highlighting the valleys and peaks in both of their bodies? They would be a little two-dimensional if it weren’t for that natural development of colour.
