Like I said in my last post, the art in Prague is something else. My favourite pieces were the cheeky but thought-provoking sculptures by David Černy. We spent a fair bit of time searching the city for his work which proved to be a little tricky to find! This guy was hanging above our heads about a block from where Google maps was sending us. . . The thing I like about Černy’s work is his humorous and controversial interpretations of events that are still relevant today. Take this one for example, it’s supposed to be Sigmund Freud dangling to his demise to show Černy’s uncertainty about intellectualism in the 20th century. Fast forward to 2017 and this is more relevant than ever. In a world where we really on technology to do everything for us, it looks like Freud won’t be able to hang on much longer. . . That’s just my thoughts anyway. Have you guys seen any thought-provoking art that has really resonated with you?🧐 . . On a less serious note, how good are the new emojis!! 🤩 (there’s broccoli!🥦) #černý #praguestagram #atlasobscura #wonderful_prague . . . . . . . #wunderlust #travelstoke #teamkaptainkenny #traveleroftheweek #igersprague #ichosetowander #instaprague #olympusomd #olympuscamera #praguelife #girlsborntotravel #visitprague #streetartlovers #streetartdaily #thediscoverer
