Memento Park

Road as an artistic element

Right behind the Coulisse Wall you find yourself on a straight Road leading to the end of the park. The Road has a number of branch-roads forming lemniscates. So the circular promenades are endless and they do not lead anywhere. They always return to the pre-designed main Road, which thus becomes the centrally authorised One and Only Right Road.

Just like the elements seen outside and at the entrance of the park, the Road has a symbolic message, too.

  • What do you think was the intention of the designer with this concept?
  • What does it suggest about the communist system?
