Sculpture Pissing in the water

Piss-Gergeta Brick Factory, David Black, Čůrající postavy, Pissing Fountain
Czech republic, Prague
The sculpture Pissing into the Water is located on the territory of the former Gergeta brick factory. The fountain was created in 2004 by the controversial sculptor David Cherny. The sculpture consists of two bronze figures pissing into a reservoir resembling a map of the Czech Republic. The figures of men can turn from time to time and jet various texts of famous citizens.

The installation is made in some completely absurd style. It is a fountain formed by two men standing opposite each other and defecating. Interestingly, the middle part of the sculptures can be rotated from side to side. Due to this movement, the streams draw a variety of shapes on the water. The shape of the fountain repeats the map of the Czech Republic. The author of this monument is the sculptor and artist David Cherny. The principle of operation of this hi-tech creation is very simple. Parts of the body of bronze men, whose height is 2 meters 10 centimeters, are moved by electric motors installed inside the men, and controlled by a computer.

David Cerny - architect, sculptor, provocateur. His work certainly does not leave anyone indifferent. The Piss installation, where bronze statues do not just write, they “draw” statements of famous Prague residents on the water. But you can interrupt this process by sending an SMS (in Latin) to the number written next to it, and the sculpture will start writing the text of the message you sent.
