While enemas undoubtedly have a place in medical practice, their role in art is open to debate. But that hasn’t stopped a health spa in the resort of Zheleznovodsk in Russia's Stavropol region from erecting a giant monument to enemas.
The 350-kilo bronze monument features three baby angels holding up a pear-shaped enema bulb and nozzle.
The idea for the sculpture belongs to spa director Aleksandr Kharchenko, who says that a monument to the enema should have been set up a long time ago.
“Someone has to know about it! We have the most enemas in the world done here!” he said.
Enemas are used to diagnose and treat a host of digestive tract illnesses and are routinely given to patients before surgery.
