Zlatý voči, Rock relief in Lipnice nad Sázavou, Czech Republic
Zlatý voči is a stone relief sculpture featuring two large eyes carved into a flooded quarry face. Golden inscriptions spelling Enter, Exit, and Home frame the expressive facial composition.
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.
The sculpture is part of a series exploring surveillance and observation themes in society. It uses everyday language and strange imagery to invite visitors to reconsider how they perceive their surroundings.
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.
The sculpture uses the water's surface of the quarry to reflect the carved eyes, creating a doubling effect. This reflection interaction makes the work merge with its surroundings in a subtle and striking way.
