kafka metro tram

Quadrio Shopping Center, Národní třída, Prague


The “moving head” of Franz Kafka (#1), installed outside the Quadria Center in 2014, is by the artist David Černý.


The text in image #7 translates as “love somehow doesn’t always triumph over liars or over money” – a pointed allusion to Václav Havel’s slogan “Truth and love must triumph over lies and hatred.” Some might see it as an apt commentary on events in Czechia since 1989.
