Humor, Bronze sculpture in Södermalm, Stockholm, Sweden

Humor is a small bronze sculpture from 1967 by Karl Göte Bejemark on Peter Myndes backe. It shows a worker lifting a manhole cover with both hands and looking up at the pavement. The manhole is surrounded by yellow-red barriers of the "Parkförvaltning", which are part of the artwork.

The sculpture was created in 1967 by Karl Göte Bejemark as the artist shifted from abstract metal works to figurative bronze figures. It emerged during a period when public art was becoming integrated into urban development across Sweden.

The sculpture depicts an everyday work scene, inviting visitors to notice the ordinary from a new angle. Its realistic style creates moments of surprise as people move through the street.

The sculpture stands on Peter Myndes backe, just west of the Slussen metro station and south of the Stockholm City Museum. The manhole and its yellow-red barriers are part of the artwork, so look at the whole group rather than only the figure. The street slopes down toward Slussen, and the work can be seen from all sides at close range.

The work originally stood at Hamngatan near Berzelii park before being relocated to its current site. This move demonstrates how public artworks are repositioned within cities to shift their impact and meaning in the urban setting.
