Distances, Public fountain in Lhotka, Czech Republic
Distances is a metal and steel fountain in Lhotka designed to serve both as a water feature and a sculpture in the public space. The installation creates a visual point of interest where functionality meets artistic expression.
The fountain was first installed in 1901 and received significant modifications during the late 1960s and early 1970s. These phases of development have shaped the installation as it stands today.
Czech sculptor Jiří Novák designed this fountain as both a water feature and an art piece, reflecting the integration of functionality with artistic expression.
This fountain is accessible year-round and sits in the public area of the Lhotka district. Visitors can enjoy it freely without special arrangements or advance planning.
The structure combines two distinct functions as both a fountain and a sculpture, creating a dual-purpose installation in the public space.
