Denise Ziegler: Epigrammeja Helsingin kaupungin jalankulkijoille, 1999
Public work, that consists of eight cast-iron manhole covers in different locations in the city centre. Each round cover has a short epigrammatic poem or message for passers-by.
The short poems, or messages, comment on the situation and location of the reader. The aim is to reinforce the status of pedestrians as important individual elements of the urban environment. These 'memorial plaques' can be found on pavements in streets around the City centre such as Pohjoisesplanadi, Mannerheimintie, Simonkatu, Eteläranta,Yliopistokatu and in the Kampintori square.
THE LITTLE RED MAN STANDS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET, I AM STANDING HERE.
