Pomnik Anonimowego Przechodnia we Wrocławiu

Fourteen bronze figures emerge from the sidewalk on one side of the street and sink back into the pavement on the other. They represent ordinary people in mid-stride, carrying briefcases or pushing strollers, gradually disappearing into the ground. Sculptor Jerzy Kalina created these statues in nineteen seventy-seven, though they remained hidden in a warehouse for nearly thirty years. When they finally appeared here in two thousand five, they arrived on the anniversary of the nineteen eighty-one declaration of martial law in Poland.
