Among the sculptures Pekka Kontio made in the 1960s there are a number of powerfully expressive portraits. `Weightlessness' has a considerably more lyrical and optimistic ambience than the artist's earlier works. The work depicts two figures in a weightless space. Its horizontality and the unaffected handling of the figures' limbs create a strong sense of movement. The work is cast in bronze and it was unveiled in 1966.
