We leave the building through an exit and stand directly in front of a huge spinning head. The sun is glittering on the sculpture and I have to squint my eyes to get a closer look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/vonortzuort.reisen\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/prag-kopf-kafka-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Kopf Kafka\" class=\"wp-image-22450\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>In November 2014, the artist David \u010cern\u00fd erected an eleven-metre high sculpture right next to the shopping centre building. The work of art weighs a total of 39 tons, divided into steel and a lot of technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Loudly creaking and scraping, 42 differently shaped superimposed layers of steel move in a circle. In some moments you can&#8217;t tell what kind of overall picture they are supposed to create and only a few moments later a head emerges. This head represents the image of the Czech writer Franz Kafka.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I find the sculpture interesting and in any case louder than I thought. Especially in the morning sun it was simply beautiful to look at.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Address:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Charv\u00e1tova<br>11000 Praha 1- Nov\u00e9 M\u011bsto<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Kafka head one of the most controversial works of art in Prague is located near the Old Town.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":17104,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_genesis_hide_title":false,"_genesis_hide_breadcrumbs":false,"_genesis_hide_singular_image":false,"_genesis_hide_footer_widgets":false,"_genesis_custom_body_class":"","_genesis_custom_post_class":"","_genesis_layout":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[77],"tags":[33],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Kafka head in Prague - rotating statue, modern art<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Impressive work of art in Prague&#039;s old town - the turning head of Kafka.
