Monument to Sigmund Freud “The Hanging Man”
Gus Street, Prague, Czech Republic
Description:
The monument to Sigmund Freud “The Hanging Man” is located on the protruding part of the roof of one of the houses in Prague. The figure of the famous scientist “hangs”, hooked with one hand on the beam. The author of such an unusual creation is the infamous Prague sculptor David Black. The monument was created in 1996 and had a stunning success, in connection with which the sculpture was hung in Prague, Chicago, London.
It is said that from a distance at dusk, the suspended figure of Freud resembles a gallows or a person in trouble and often scares passers-by. Some even see in the sculpture similarities with Vladimir Lenin and political background. But according to the author, the monument should personify the isolation of the intelligentsia from the people.
