Non Serviam, Modern sculpture in Malmskillnadsgatan, Stockholm, Sweden
Located near the center of Stockholm, Non Serviam stands as a metal sculpture that incorporates text elements from Gunnar Ekelöf's poetry collection.
The sculpture, unveiled in 1980 by Swedish artist Ernst Nordin, marks a period of increased focus on public art installations throughout Stockholm's urban spaces.
Non Serviam displays the first four lines of Ekelöf's poetry, connecting visual arts with Swedish literature through its physical representation in public space.
Visitors can find the sculpture at Malmskillnadsgatan 25, accessible by public transportation and within walking distance of several cultural institutions.
The Latin phrase 'Non Serviam' meaning 'I will not serve' reflects themes of resistance and individualism central to both the sculpture and poetry.
