About this audio guide
This guide to Ivan Kožarić's Grounded Sun in Zagreb starts with your hand on the bronze and follows a sculpture that wandered the city for decades before settling on Bogovićeva Street. It turns on the late summer of twenty fourteen, when a second orange sphere appeared outside the Music Academy and an architect's dream collided with an artist's family. Stand right beside the sphere, close enough to touch it.
