Czech artist David Černý is known for some of the more outré pieces of street art around Prague, including the Babies crawling up Žižkov’s Television Tower and Old Town’s Man Hanging Out. His latest work is no exception – though it also provides a functional use.
Based off the 1895 Montparnasse derailment in Paris, captured in an iconic photograph by Levy & fils, Černý’s newest piece will be a nineteenth-century train that will appear to onlookers to be crashing between two Prague buildings. It will also be used as a functional walkway between the buildings.
