This image is the result of an incentive prize from the Prins Bernhard Cultuurfonds, which was won by Arjan Schoonhoven. Work Whoever touches this exists was initially installed in Museumstraat in 2006. It was created at a time when there were many events, including those featuring living statues. The man stands in the street, not on a pedestal but among the people, and is life-sized. It is a cast of a clothed human figure in aluminum. By using rubber molds, a fairly exact copy of, for example, the structure of the figure's clothing was created. In his hands is a spyglass through which one could look out into the museum district. After an enthusiastic reception from residents, the statue nevertheless caused a nuisance for local residents due to the nightlife crowds and the endless group selfies. Consequently, the owner of the Black Widow shop took the initiative to adopt the statue and place it in front of his shop on Nieuwe Binnenweg.
