The statue "Virgin of Ätrans" is based on an old folktale from the area around Falkenberg in Sweden. The statue was created by Czon and installed illegally at the site of an old castle ruin near Ätran. (Staty, Ätrajungfrum. Falkenberg, Gatukonst)
The installation quickly became popular with locals and visitors, and even inspired a local brewery to create "Virgin of Ätran" Beer and also a cider together with Czon.
Also an local restaurant created a special "Virgin of Ätran" pizza.
The statue has also been featured in the popular mobile game "Pokémon Go," further increasing its fame and notoriety.
Czon is known for his provocative and often controversial artwork, and his guerrilla installations like the Virgin of Ätrans statue are just one example of his willingness to push boundaries and challenge expectations. His work has been exhibited in galleries and museums around the world, and he continues to be a leading figure in the world of contemporary art.
I Juni 2016 dök hon upp igen, nu i det populära Pokemon Go som visade vart hon stod innan hon stals / försvann / förstördes ?
