Installation Babies in Campa Park

David Black, Kampa, Babies
Czech republic, Prague
The "Babies" installation was opened by David Cherny in 2008 near the Kampa Museum following the famous "Babies" on the TV Tower Zizkova. The weight of the bronze babies is about 100 kilograms, and the height is about 2.5 meters. Faceless sculptures, with barcodes instead of faces, as conceived by the author, symbolize the protest against abortion.

In 2000, a sculptural composition of huge (about 3.5 meters long) faceless babies crawling at high altitudes down and up the walls of this building was placed on the Zhizhkov TV Tower. The appearance of these alien babies on an ordinary television tower, reminiscent of the city's communist past, has made it one of Prague's most famous and popular tourist attractions. The giant babies were conceived by David Black back in 1994, when he lived in New York. Initially, the composition of the sculptures was intended for the Museum of Modern Art in Chicago.

David Cerny - architect, sculptor, provocateur. His work certainly does not leave anyone indifferent. Some of the giant babies fought off a group climbing the Prague TV Tower in Zizkov and settled in Kampa Park. Initially, the idea of ​ ​ crawling babies was born by a sculptor for the Museum of Modern Art in Chicago. But in the end, Chicago did not work out and the "kids" took root in Prague.
