Piss (Černý)

David Černý's Piss in the courtyard of the Hergetova Cihelna, outside the Franz Kafka Museum in Prague's Malá Strana. Two bronze men stand in a pool shaped like the Czech Republic and relieve themselves into it, in full view of the café tables. It has been there since 2004, and the streams are not random: the figures spell out quotations from Czech literature, or a message a visitor has texted to them. Černý has described it as a picture of the Czech habit of trying to outdo the other guy.
