Hanging Out, David Černý's Sigmund Freud

A life-size Sigmund Freud dangling by one hand from a pole high above Husova Street in Prague's Old Town, as calm as if he were waiting for a tram. David Černý made him in the 1990s, and from the street he looks unsettlingly like a real man in trouble. That is the gag, and it has worked too well: people have mistaken him for a real person and called emergency services, especially when the figure was shown abroad. Look up near the corner with Skořepka Street, or you will walk right under him.
