Monument to the Anonymous Pedestrians, Bronze street art on Swidnicka Street, Wrocław, Poland.

The monument consists of fourteen life-sized bronze figures emerging from and descending into the pavement on opposite sides of the street.

The installation commemorates the implementation of martial law in Poland from 1981 to 1983, when numerous citizens disappeared during military arrests.

The figures wear typical clothing from the 1970s, capturing the appearance and movements of ordinary Polish citizens during the communist period.

Located at a central intersection near Wrocław's Market Square, visitors can walk among the bronze figures and observe them from different angles.

The sculptures present a continuous narrative across the street, with figures sinking on one side and rising on the other, creating a physical timeline.
