Duo
After having been here for 20 years I have see many things with my hidden eye. In my form I appear to be two, but I have just one soul. My view is beautiful. I see the sea and the port. I´m made in brake. I´m made by Thomas Qvarsebo . He put me here in 1992. |
DUO
We have been here for 20 years but we have changed spot some times. We are two men who are in love We stand and hold eachother in our hands We can talk and we love to party We go to a night club every day |
Ro
I’m standing here and I look out along Hornsgatan. Not so nice view. Some drunk people. Sometimes the police officer is coming. I’m bored, and I been that for a very long time… |
This is Ro.
She is out and picks flowers to her husband, then she realizes that she wants someone else. The flowers are a little bit faded and she feels sad. |
The pingpong player
I stand here outside Eriksdalshallen. There are so many cars passing by - why is everebody so stressed? When I was raised people had the time to stop by at the café behind me. It was much calmer back then. Though many things are still the same. People still play pingpong. Still the times change but that’s what life is like when you are a statue. |
THE TABLE TENNIS PLAYER
Well here is another day. ”poh”. It`s so boring to just stand here I imagine that I am the lady on the bike there . To feel how the wind is blowing throw my hair . Just to move a little bit would be great. The guy over there who´s listening to music . That guy would I want to be too . I imagine that I´m listening to music . Have different clothes . Maybe to colour my hair . Then I can be the dog over there . Bark and poo all day! But that doesn´t sound so nice . Ooooo . I would give anything to taste that Thai food over there . It smells so good ! Go by bus and car would be a dream . Drive around a bit . Not just to stand here still with a pingpong racket in my hand. |
Tabletennis player
I am standing here outside Eriksdalshallen since 1983. I´ve seen thousands of people walk along here. Bicycles, buses, cars and motorbikes. I´m good at tabletennis. I´m made by Annie Wiberg. |
See you near the goal
Hi my name is Lennart Nacka Skoglund.
But my friends call me ”The Cross” cause I always do goal in the upper corners.
You will find me at Nackas corner at the pre-school ”Plow” on Katarina Banstreet.
My creator´s name is Olle Adrin and he created me because my great soccer carrier. If I could speak I would speak to my fans and have fun.
I miss the times when I could say out loud:
”One more beer” in the bar.
And ”I´ll take the whole check please” to the waitress.
I´m "The Cross"

The first steps
We have been standing here since 1862 We are waiting for that the people who are a little bit drunk will stop to come and bother us. Because we want to have a little bit of peace and quiet. |
The first steps
We have been standing here for a long time I am waiting for Lisa to take her first step – Ohh, look! There she takes her first step! |
The first steps
I take my first step, out of my life as a statue
Out of all the darkness and the hell I am living in
Away from the sadness and pain
I would fly high over the clouds….
To a new life, a life with feelings like happiness and LOVE!
I like to every morning when I wake up
Feel my heart beating inside ME!
THEN, then I know that I’m alive!
As someone else than the Misarable statue I am..
But I have no feelings, no feelings at all
If I had that, I would cry, cry because of everything I lost.
’CRY,
BECAUSE of the life I don’t have!!
One Day I Will Do That, One Day
I’M COMING!
I take my first step, out of my life as a statue

I have been standing in this well at Slussen about one year. Before I was standing at Nybroplan . Soon I will not have the strength to hold the lid any longer. Karl Göran Bejemark made me. I think I stand just here because many people can see me. |

Now I have been standing in this well by Slussen (A place in Stockholm) for nearly one year. Before Slussen I stood in a well at Nybroplan (A place in Stockholm). Soon I can´t hold up the lid any longer. I was made by Karl Göran Bejemark. I think I stand here just so that many people can see me.
