City A - Z
On 22 May 2002, the memorial to victims of the Communist regime was unveiled in Prague.
It is a line of scary statues representing different phases of a human body’s destruction.
At first one part of the body is missing, than another and another until the figure seems to totally disappear.
The monument is situated in the Lesser Town under Petrin Hill
One of the statues has been destroyed during a bomb attack in 2003.
This monument must be an absolute MUST SEE in Prague. It simply gives you the spooks looking at it.
In this video: the controversial Memorial to the Victims of Communism. A group of statues by Olbram Zoubek emerge into totality as they walk, or are at various stages of destruction, depending how you look at it. Why are they controversial? Other artists say they are kitschy, while feminists are angry because all the figures are male and they (quite rightly) claim women were persecuted under the communists regime too. The memorial was damaged by two bomb attacks in late 2003.
