Sculpture showing St. Václav sitting on an upside down dead horse. It is a parody of the equestrian statue of St. Wenceslas.
Annotation
Černý never comments on the meaning and symbolism of his work, but it's safe to assume that this Václav is a reference to Václav Klaus, prime minister (1992-1998) and since 2003 president of Czech Republic.
