A casual passer-by on Gusova Street may suddenly catch his heart: a man is hanging out on a steel mast sticking out of the roof of one of the houses! Who is this? Suicide gallows or a person in trouble ? ! It also happens that excited tourists call the police or firefighters. Well, the sculptor-provocateur David Cerny was counting on such attention to his offspring when he hung a sculpture of a man holding a beam in his hand on a street in Prague in 1997. The unique sculpture, 220 cm high, is one of many works by the world-famous Czech sculptor in Prague.

David Cerny - architect, sculptor, provocateur. His work certainly does not leave anyone indifferent. Another creation of David Cerny is a sculpture of Sigmund Freud hanging on one arm (although some Czechs claim that the figure of the philosopher looks more like Lenin : ) The installation traveled to international exhibitions many times, and in Chicago, in 2007, it caused a stir when police and firefighters mistook a hanging Sigmund Freud for a suicide.
