In Lviv, the sculpture "Truth" that injured a man has been moved. Updated

The sculpture "Truth", which Tvoye Misto wrote about and which injured a man in Lviv, will be moved after the publication and an appeal by lawyer Oleh Mytsyk. The lawyer himself reported this.

Preliminarily, at 19:15 the sculpture was to be moved to another, safer place.

Updated.

The Lviv City Council reported, that for the safety of pedestrians the sculpture "Truth" was moved to a lit side section of Svobody Avenue. However, whether this will be safe in the dark is also unknown, since the log that crosses the wooden head is black. The city also did not say whether they plan to install warning signs or reflective elements.

At the same time, they added that no one had contacted ambulance crews or the city's medical facilities about injuries caused by the sculpture. However, earlier Tvoye Misto learned that a man had called an ambulance, and the First City Clinical Hospital did not deny this information but said to send an official request.

They note that the culture department, together with the organizers of the "Sculpture Week in Lviv" and the author of the work, decided to move the sculpture for the weekend closer to a lamppost, where pedestrian traffic is less intense.

Next week the sculpture will be removed entirely from the space where pedestrians can move.

To remind, earlier we wrote that on the evening of November 5 a man smashed his head against the sculpture, because in the darkness the log protruding far beyond the sculpture itself is not visible. 

This is a new wooden sculpture in the form of a human head, carved from a massive piece of wood. The face with distinct features has an elongated shape, and it is pierced by a long black horizontal structure that passes through the face entirely and extends beyond the head on both sides. 

The sculpture is called "Truth"; it was installed as part of the Sculpture Week under the curatorship of Pavlo Hudimov. The author is Volodymyr Semkiv.
