OddLudek, Bronze dwarf statue in Old Town, Poland
Description
OddLudek is a small bronze figure positioned near the two historic houses that evoke a fairy tale story. The statue displays craftsmanship and sits low to the ground, where it is easy to discover.
History
The figure was installed in 2010 and belongs to a growing collection of bronze dwarves that has been added to ever since. This collection recalls an artistic movement from the 1980s that expressed itself in a humorous way against political repression.
Culture
This small bronze figure is part of a collection that transforms Wrocław into an open-air gallery across the city. The dwarves connect the present streetscape with memories of the past and create a special bond between residents and visitors.
Practical
You can find the statue most easily by focusing on the two fairy tale houses, since it is located near them. A visit in the afternoon makes it easier to spot the small figure, as the light is more favorable.
Did you know?
The statue is intentionally very small and sits directly at street level, making it a popular photo subject for visitors who can position themselves beside it. This low position makes the encounter with the figure more personal and playful than with other artworks.
