With the unrest that many cities are experiencing in the world of late, the art installation titled Guns by David Cerny demonstrates the absurdity of these unfortunate situations. By shedding light on the prevalence of such weapons, this project shows that many individuals and societies judge their power on owned weaponry, and this perception must be changed.
Arranged in a sort of Mexican standoff, the art installation Guns by David Cerny also shows that such violence often leads to an impasse with no foreseeable win for any party involved; hate and violence is thus pointless.
The art installation Guns by David Cerny is currently suspended in the courtyard of the Artbanka Museum of Young Art in Prague, Czech Republic, for public viewing.
