In English you say it like David Cherny. Then one day I had just left the Kampa modern art museum and bumped into three large metal babies.
This was my introduction to David Cerny and I never looked back. This is the picture on the top of this page. Remember, this is not the official statue of Franz Kafka next to the Spanish Synagogue. You can see the video on my YouTube Channel. Note that Kafkas Head only runs in the first quarter of the hour 8am to 9pm. This was the first David Cerny art I ever saw but it was years later that I learned the full story. The original commission for 13 babies had come from the Chicago Museum of Contemporary Art but having blown the budget, they could only pay for three.
But where are they? Read more on the Spitfire Butterflies post. Is it because it reminds him of a triffid or is it something to do with vintage cameras? This is Trifot which was a commercial commission which has a signature protest message from the designer.
Read more on the Trifot post. Located in Husova in the Old Town and suspended about 20 metres from the ground. Located in the Lucerna passage since You could not call David Cerny a Monarchist and here he goes out of his way to present King Wenceslas in a very unflattering way.
But the story is not in the art. Anybody exploring the Mala Strana side of town will really walk along only two roads and one of them will lead to a restaurant that has two apparently naked men peeing into a pond shaped like the Czech Republic.
