Gilded Mayor, Village Square
Photorealistic image of a stage set. Golden Statue: An oversized, ostentatious statue of the mayor, centrally located in the village square of an Austrian village. The statue is not yet fully gilded, surrounded by scaffolding. Concrete wall in the background: The wall stretches across the entire back of the stage, bare and menacing, with barbed wire and floodlights on top. Left: Facade of the grocery store: A small, charming store with an inviting display window and arrangements of fruits, vegetables, and international specialties. Right: Facade of the inn "Zum Goldenen Herz": A rustic building with flowers in the windows. Above the entrance hangs a sign with a golden glowing heart. The beer benches in front of the inn are a central meeting point for the villagers. Important disputes take place here.
