Sculpture Emerging from Ground in a Temple Hall

In the photos you are seeing Atjaras of the Hungarian artist Zsuzsi Csiszer. It is a Sculpture that can be translated as Passage. In it, you can see half of a train compartment going through the ground. The statue is at Museum Kiscell’s Temple. The statue is at rather unusual place as the site for it is an 18th Century Temple. It would surely make you believe that a train compartment has crashed into the ground. The statue is pretty much life like one.

The statue is very similar to Ivan Puig’s work where he showed sinking Volkswagen sedan. The art seems to catch us wandering about a Catastrophe. The sculptore challenges human perspective about what has actually happened in the train. He mentions, What if the work is not simply a Catastroph rather a miracle. Why should we think it crashed into the ground and not something lurking out of it?
