This is the first week of another year of Leanne Cole’s Monochrome Madness photo challenge, and my contribution doesn’t exist any more.
At least not on this location. This is a pair of sculptures “She-He” by sculptor Jakov Brdar that used to stand on the wall of Piran’s pier. This photo was taken at the start of last year. When I was this January again in Piran, this Slovenian coastal town, I was looking for them in vain.
I heard about the protests but I didn’t think they would win. Unless the temporary nature of this project was a given throughout.
Here is the same photo as it was taken.

Such incredible sculptures! Do you know where they are now?

Indeed, Judy! I’m trying to find an answer right now but no luck yet. I read that it was intended for the statues to remain there only 3 months, and that they had been lying in some backyard forgotten before they put them up in Piran. I hope they haven’t gone back there.

Where is Piran? I meant to Google but on the run today.

Piran is on Slovenian coast, near Trieste in Italy. I’ve got lots of photos from here on my blog, just follow the tag Piran.

Will do. Those sculptures need to be out in public.

A shame they were removed. They add a lot of character.

True. Not everybody liked them though. Slovenians tend to be a bit… old-fashioned.

Is that why there were protests?

Most likely… but I didn’t pay close attention.
