Mihály Kolodko is a “guerilla sculptor” who has been creating mini tower-like bronze statues throughout Budapest since 2010. He portrays monumental ideas in an easily accessible way through these miniature sculptures that are typically no bigger than a clenched fist. One of the statues that depicts a lesser-known moment in history is a Rubik’s Cube sitting atop a pedestal near the William Castle Memorial Park. It symbolizes TOM, or the “First Hungarian Revolution Against Communist Dictatorship” in 1956, a revolt by students and other citizens against the Soviet Union’s oppressive rule. To honor this and another uprising in 1989, Kolodko created the cube because it was the original tool of civil disobedience during that time. Even more, it can now be enjoyed by visitors today who can spot the tiny statue and then think about its inspiring story.
