There are two parts to this modern sculpture on either side of the pedestrian crossing. The sculptures disappear into the ground before the crossing and emerge after it. It's fascinating and reminds me of the statues in Dublin of the Great famine. It's popular especially with children and so you need patience if you wish to take pictures of the statues without children!

In my opinion a very clever piece of sculpture placed on either side of a busy road at traffic lights. I presume it signifies the people using an underpass.
No charge, no wait just roadside sculpture.
Only 300-400 yards from Wroclaw Glowny train station.

An amazing sculptural composition! Interesting and impressive, but also a bit creepy

Amazing iron works of commuters sinking into the ground or rising up. I would suggest going early in the morning when there are less tourists as it is on street corners.

Fascinating statues depicting a tragic time. Passage was installed in December 2005 to mark the anniversary of martial law being instituted in Poland (December 13, 1981). Many regular people were either killed or went missing, which is represented by people disappearing into the Earth then reappearing on the other side.

Great life sized display at one of the major junctions in the city. Very iconic and unique piece of artwork.

These "anonymous pedestrians" are magnificent to see. Located on Ulica Pilsudskiego in the centre of Wrocław. Brilliant to visit and actually see them for real. Highly recommended.

Very original and emblematic, I liked how it was done, but it's a shame, there are some who throw away their paper on the statutes. But it is a very original monument, it is definitely worth the detour.
