Three pipes pretending to be infinity

Dominikánské náměstí gives you public art that barely looks commemorative at all. Ploché kužely, handed to the public in 2023, consists of three bronze forms by Tomáš Pavlacký and Michael Gabriel. The municipal description frames the distorted cones as pipes seen through an impossible perspective, with water as the medium running through the history of modern civilisation. That turns an everyday technical thing—plumbing—into a spatial puzzle. Stand back, then change your angle. The point is not to decode one hidden symbol but to notice how geometry, utility and civic space get folded into the same object.
