Hi, this is Čumil, the sewage worker.
Since 26 July 1997, you can take a picture with him at the corner of the historic Rybárska brána (Fishermen’s Gate), at the junction of Panská Street and Laurinská Street, in Bratislava, Slovakia.
You may consider him a statue, a bronze sculpture of a sewer worker peeking out of a manhole, or you may see him as an iconic symbol of the manhole art and culture.
Manhole art transforms utilitarian street fixtures into unique cultural and artistic expressions, with colorful designs reflecting local landmarks and more.
Be honest, how often have you looked down and noticed the street art beneath your feet?
Optics is about perspective.
