The idea is disarmingly simple. Two bronze sculptures pee into their oddly-shaped enclosure.


While they are peeing, the two figures move realistically. An electric mechanism driven by a couple of microproccesors swivels the upper part of the body, while the penis goes up and down. The stream of water writes quotes from famous Prague residents.

Visitor can interupt them by sending SMS message from mobile phone to a number, displayed next to the sculptures. The living statue then 'writes' the text of the message, before carrying on as before.

I believe that 'oddly shaped' enclosure is a map of the Czech Republic.

so ... they're pissing all over the Czech Republic while writing the words of famous Czechs and anybody who texts them a message?
That makes it even better.

Odd, that the artist himself doesn't mention that, in English or in his native language. You appear to be correct, though.
