'Puerta del Tiempo' (Door of Time) by Enrique Altamirano


Parral, Mexico (MX)
Translation of More Info link:
Opened in February 2001, this work symbolizes the nostalgia of the path and hope for a better future, living the beginning of a new year, a new century and new millennium. It is the inspiration of the Parral sculptor Enrique Altamirano and was undertaken with the support of all Parral. It has an underground vault where the inhabitants of the city deposited personal memories, photographs and other items of nominal value. It was subsequently sealed and will not be opened until 2050. Its two sections represent the past and future, and in the middle hangs a pendulum. You can climb the sculpture through the stairs and have a richer experience.
