Bronze, metal, LEDs.
“Diver-Lighthouse” was devised by a famous Soviet sculptor Vera Mukhina
who became widely known for her “Worker and Kolkhoz Woman” monument,
constructed in 1937. The size of the sculpture in a form of the lighthouse was
supposed to reach over 40 meters and be located on the rocky cost of the Black
Sea in Crimea but wasn’t embodied. Contemporary artist Leonid Tishkov
implemented this avant-garde idea as the public art object dedicated to Russian
divers.
