RE: Prague/Czech Republic - Friday photo challenge - share your personal pictures from your visit to the Czech Republic!
Another creation of David the Black is black babies or baby dolls. He placed them on the Zizkov television tower (Zizkovsky vysilac).
In the beginning it is difficult to understand what kind of attitude towards them. But from many points of Prague one can see the tower and climbing baby dolls. The tower was built from 1985 to 1992. It so happened that the residents of the city did not like it at all. It was aggravated by the fact that its construction was carried out near the Jewish cemetery. The townspeople believed that this structure spoils the view of the whole of Prague, and the radiation is generally harmful to health. Years passed, disputes and grievances subsided. The height of the tower is about 216 meters, which is considered the highest structure not only in the city, but also in the whole of the Czech Republic. It is visible from all over Prague. It is also worth noting that it combines a meteorological station and a cellular tower.
In 2000, David Chernyi got the idea of planting dozens of huge black baby dolls on the tower, as if “crawling” along its sheer supports. Some of them climbed up, and some slid down. David put a somewhat philosophical concept into his creation. As soon as you think that you have achieved everything, you begin your fall down.
