The Sloup-21 Column, also known as the Covid Column, is a contemporary monument that was created in the summer of 2021 to commemorate the Covid-19 pandemic. It is a modern version of the traditional plague columns that were built in the past after the end of epidemics, especially the bubonic plague. The Sloup-21 Column is a symbol of solidarity and remembrance of the difficult times associated with the global pandemic. The monument is a reference to historical traditions, but with a modern, minimalist approach to the form. Although it is not as ornate as the classic plague columns, it may contain symbolic elements referring to the fight against the disease, the memory of the victims and hope for the future. It was designed as a reminder of the hard times the world has gone through and as a way to pay tribute to those who died or fought the pandemic. This column was created in the specific context of modern history, in the era of global connectivity and media, which gives it a different character than traditional plague columns. It is a contemporary monument that gains significance as a testimony to the Covid-19 pandemic that is affecting entire generations.
