Having never lived in Communism, I don't quite understand the Memorial to the Victims of Communism talked about in the Blog. I don't understand why the statues look like that. It more reminds me of the Holocaust. Is it a statement that the victims were stripped of everything including all dignity, material possessions, and health? Or is there more to this that I'm not grasping? Please explain.
I think you need a short sojourn in uranium mine to appreciate qualities of communism. :twisted: OK, seriously, this is simply Olbram Zoubek's style.
From far view "The stairs to nowhere" From near view "Group of leper people" :? It is supposed to be monument but I just can not call it so. Pure stairs would be much better then this mockery . The fact you do not understand it has nothing to do with place you lived. Nobody understand it. (Maybe Olbram Zoubek do). I am sorry if I offended anybodies feeling toward this memorial or past era but I absolutely do not like this "monument". Why it looks like that: The statues look like that because (regardless 'how they looks' :wink: ) it is only one man who is more and more damaged by walking through the life in communists era.
