The popular American blog Mysterious Trip has released a ranking of the world’s motion monuments “Artists make metal and stone come alive“. The annual rating, which comes out at the end of August, has already been viewed by about 20,000 people who plan their vacation itineraries.
The rating of 2022 is dedicated to motion monuments and presents a list of the most amazing monuments that are in motion.
Among them are such famous ones as “The Head of Franz Kafka” in Prague (by David Černý), “The Ali and Nino statue” in Batumi (by Tamara Kvesetadze), and “The Dachshund monument” in Tromso (by Inghild Karlsen and Bo Bisgaard).
These monuments are among the top places to visit, which is why they feature in various lists and rankings every year.
Discoveries are the monuments, which were not previously included in the rating. For example, the Animated monument to Nikolay Basov in Usman (Lipetsk region, Russia) by IT group Otkritie.
The monument to Nikolay Basov, the Soviet and Russian physicist, Nobel Prize winner, and one of the creators of laser technology, appeared at the end of 2021. The monument comes to life every evening and begins to speak in the voice of the famous physicist.
After the welcoming speech, a light show begins: a bright 3D laser show is projected on the monument.
Another pioneer in the ranking is the Monument to Kinetic rain in the Changi Airport in Singapore (by the German collective Art Com).
Measuring 9.8m by 4m, each sculpture can form 16 different shapes ranging from the abstract to the familiar, such as an airplane and even a dragon. Each shape elucidates the movement of flight through deliberate, fluid movements.
The third newcomer is “The Dachshund monument” in Tromso (by Inghild Karlsen and Bo Bisgaard). Legend has it that the monument is dedicated to a dog that waited on the pier for an owner who never returned home.
The authors made the monuments so that under strong wind, the dachshund’s tail would rotate as if the dog was nervous.
The moving sculptures may not have been around long, but they have become a favorite with tourists and locals alike in every corner of the world.
All of the objects in the ranking are truly unique, and it’s worth visiting a city where such an object is installed, even if the traveler doesn’t have time for other attractions.
Each of them is so amazing that even if there were no other attractions in these cities, they would be worth a visit just for one such site.
