Det Svenska Tungsinnet, Malmö

At the water walk, there is a figure of a man wearing a beret that is standing, hiding his hands in his pockets, and crying. If you get closer to the figure, you can see that there are real tears running down his cheeks. This sculpture-fountain was created using the designs of artist and director Marie-Louise Ekman and is called The Swedish Language (Det Svenska Tungsinnet). The model for the sculpture was Swedish actor Gösta Ekman, the husband of Marie-Louise.

The message of the sculpture is that men in the modern world have to deal with all of life’s difficulties and overcome their fears and depression, but still stay strong.
