funny idea, on this lamp sits an art object at a height of 6-7 m created by Fernando Sanchez Castillo who originally created this sculpture for the German city of Herford. Symbolic of the dream of many who want to flee the African continent and make the crossing to a better future. Every day many people climb high fences and lampposts there to assess their chances of crossing.

The figure of this sculpture is on a pole with a surveillance camera about nine meters high.
