Moon Rover

Holdjáró

V. District (BELVÁROS-LIPÓTVÁROS) Technology & Fantasy

A tiny, detailed Lunar Roving Vehicle in bronze balances on a moon-shaped concrete bollard — actually an ordinary parking-protection post at the corner of Aulich utca and Hold utca — while a tiny astronaut atop the vehicle waves at passers-by.

A tribute to Hungarian engineer Ferenc Pavlics, who after fleeing Hungary in 1956 developed the wire wheels for the Apollo lunar rovers at NASA. The location is a double pun: "Hold utca" literally means "Moon Street" in Hungarian – and was also the first street where Kolodko rented an apartment with his family after moving from Ukraine in 2016. Installed in September 2019.

AddressOn Hold utca (“Moon Street”) — the wheels appear slightly sunk into the ground.
