Czech Republic, Prague

One of the best things about visiting Prague in the Czech Republic is seeing David Černý’s stunning – and shocking – sculptures.

I spent a wonderful week mooching around Prague, searching for Černý’s work across the city.

But the sculpture that bewilders most visitors is simply titled ‘Piss’. The sculpture – located in Malá Straná, beside the wonderful Kafka Museum – is a fountain where two adequately-endowed brass men urinate into a pool shaped like the Czech Republic.

The statues are animated, and you can send text messages to the urinating duo. In turn, the statues will twist and turn to spell out your message in streaks of water.

But ‘Piss’ isn’t Černý’s most shocking work. Stay tuned to Posts From The Edge and I’ll bring you more of his sculptures in the coming months.
