Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: The Sisyphus Stones in Fort Washington Park of Upper Manhattan, New York City, are created by Albanian-American artist Uliks Gryka from stones found along the banks of the Hudson River. With minor exceptions, the stones are not glued together but are balanced on top of one another. Gryka began piling the stones in 2017, and, since the stones are frequently knocked over or fall down, he continually recreates the assemblage in new combinations every week or so. At one point, disheartened by the destruction of his creations, he took a break from the stones, but continued again in 2019. Although someone from the Parks Department once told him to take down the stones for safety reasons, others told him there was no problem, and there is now what seems to be an official Parks Department sign at the site identifying the statues.
