Zlatý voči, Rock relief in Lipnice nad Sázavou, Czech Republic
Zlatý voči is a relief carved into the rock face of the flooded Střelnice quarry, about 1.5 km west of Lipnice nad Sázavou. The work is a triangle roughly 2.5 m high containing two eyes; the eyeballs bear the golden inscriptions Enter, Exit and Home.
Artist Radomír Dvořák created this relief as part of a national art project about eavesdropping. The work was unveiled on September 14, 2007, at this flooded quarry location.
Zlatý voči is one of five works in the Národní památník odposlechu, a memorial to eavesdropping that also includes Bretschneiderovo ucho, Ústa pravdy, Hlava XXII and Jednohubka a la Jurajda. The golden words Enter, Exit and Home on the eyeballs read like door signs, turning the eyes into entrances of a house. The relief appears in Petr Kubík's 2020 film Princezna zakletá v čase.
Visitors can reach the sculpture by following marked hiking trails from nearby parking areas. The best time to visit is during dry conditions, as the quarry terrain can be muddy and wet.
