Talking Statues

Talking Statues is a project that was created in 2013 by documentary filmmaker David Peter Fox,[1] who is based in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Inspired by the book, Sculptures in Copenhagen by Jens Peters Munk, Fox went on to provide a history and backstory for the figures represented by the statues.

The project consists of prerecorded voice-overs that are matched to various statues found in public areas using QR codes.

The City of Copenhagen funded the initial project, and the monologues were written by film director Carsten Rudolf in collaboration with David Peter Fox.
