Hahah! The mystery of the identity of the rather curious horizontal man statue in Newcastle has finally been solved!
He is infact one part of a three part bronze sculpture called 'Man with Potential Selves' by Sean Henry. It is situated opposite Central Station in Newcastle Upon Tyne. Henry is quoted as saying "They are three alter egos of the same man and that he is an Everyman character.

So many photos of the oft called 'horizontal man' (there is no information on the statue available at the site, I had to research it on the net) are taken effectively parallel to it, so that you get the mans face and the front of his body. I thought I'd be different and try and draw the viewer into the image. I'll let you be the judge of whether or not i've been succesful on that count.
