When you’re tired of gazing at Wrocław’s multitude of cherubs, gargoyles and bearded national heroes clutching important pens and looking frightfully serious, hike on down to the junction of Piłsudskiego and Świdnicka and have a look at an entirely different take on public art. The wonderfully lifelike bronze statues descending into the earth that make up 'The Anonymous Pedestrians' are a memorial to the introduction of martial law on December 13, 1981, and the hordes of people who disappeared (‘went underground’) in the middle of the night courtesy of the militia. The work of Jerzy Kalina, the 14 statues were erected here in the middle of the night in 2005 on the 24th anniversary of the introduction of martial law, though the prophetic moulds were actually made several years before the events they commemorate.
