Passage (Monument to the Anonymous Pedestrians)
Pomnik Anonimowego Przechodnia
Fourteen life-sized bronze figures appear to 'sink' into the ground at a crossroads and 'emerge' on the other side, commemorating the people forced underground during martial law.
The sculpture by Polish artist Jerzy Kalina was installed in 2005 at the junction of Piłsudskiego Street and Świdnicka Street. On one side, pedestrians gradually sink into the pavement, and on the opposite side of the road they emerge again from underground. It symbolizes the people who were forced to go underground during martial law in 1981. The work is striking and great for photos. It lies between the old town and the railway station, so it's an easy detour on foot.
