Monument to the Anonymous Pedestrians

Pomnik Anonimowego Przechodnia

An impressive artwork by Jerzy Kalina, this sculpture which has two parts, each to one side of Świdnicka, shows people going underground or coming from underground (depending on the side of the street you are at). The artwork builds on Kalina's 1977 installation "Transition" and was inaugurated in 2005. It likely makes reference to the martial law period in Poland and symbolizes people coming back to the public after being underground. The sculpture led to discussions and has been recognized internationally.
