STATUESQUE PRAGUE

Discover sculptures created through a game inspired by surrealists

As you explore Prague, you’ll come across hundreds of statues. But none like these!

Animated photo-details of Prague’s statues, people, and objects create new, imaginative connections that will spark your creativity.

This video projection is based on the surrealist game Cadavre exquis (“Exquisite Corpse”), developed in France around 1925. It soon spread to the Czech lands and became a popular pastime among Prague surrealists. Artists would draw shapes or write words on folded paper without seeing what the previous person contributed, following only a specific rule for their part.

André Breton, Yves Tanguy, Jacquiline Lamba, 1938

PRAGA MAGICA, 2024

Can you recognize where these statues in the installation can be found in Prague, and who created them? For instance, you might discover Winston Churchill (by Ivor Roberts-Jones, Žižkov), the kinetic head of Franz Kafka (by David Černý, near the Quadrio shopping centre), or the Memorial to the Victims of Communism (by Olbram Zoubek, Petřín).
