What’s the story behind the lifelike statue of “seven-foot-tall Sigmund Freud”?  This realistic statue of the famed psychoanalyst was created in 1996 by Czech sculptor David Černý. Černý is a non-conformist known for his provocative works and he is being defiant toward authority. There’s no clear-cut answer to the meanings behind the statue. Some people claim that the statue “The Man Hanging Out,” show Černý’s attempt to questions intellectualism in the 20th century.

 

As to the merits of life, it varies from person to person. Some people prioritize their career growth and some claim that family first.  It’s never easy for me to make decisions if there’s no absolute right and wrong. Generally, we tend to grip everything we desire without releasing anything we own.  And we trap ourselves in a dilemma for years or a lifetime. As to Sigmund Freud, he is a  who spent his lifetime studying phobias.  Whatever, “The Man Hanging Out” is certainly a sight to behold. It has even toured around the world, being displayed in London, Berlin, Seoul, Chicago, and Grand Rapids and Michigan.

The Golden Lane is the shortest street in Prague, which is characterized by tiny houses and is only fit for dwarfs to live. By 1657, only 14 houses remained here. Still, it remains a controversial issue that whether alchemists ever worked or lived here. What is assured, Czech-Jewish famous writer Franz Kafka stayed here for probably two years in house No. 22  because he enjoyed the peaceful neighborhood here.
