Story
Wagus is the most electrically-connected dwarf in Wroclaw. Living outside the WAGO offices on ul. Piekna, he spends his days surrounded by wires, connectors and terminals — and has developed a near-supernatural sense for exactly which cable goes where. Local electricians have been known to tip their hats to him before starting a complex installation, just to be safe.
History & Significance
Wagus was installed on 5 September 2012 in front of the WAGO office building at ul. Piekna 58a in Wroclaw, approximately 3.2 km south of the city centre. WAGO is a German manufacturer renowned worldwide for its spring-clamp electrical connectors and industrial automation components. The dwarf was sponsored by the company and sculpted by Beata Zwolanska-Holod, one of the most prolific sculptors in Wroclaw's dwarf tradition.
Inspiration
The name Wagus plays on the company name WAGO, with the typical Polish diminutive/affectionate suffix '-us'. WAGO's products are found in switchboards, industrial machinery and smart buildings across the globe, and the dwarf reflects the company's cheerful, confident identity.
