Really Big Coin Skrekkøgle

This is our Really Big Coin. It is big because it makes other things look small when photographed next to it. Actually, it is a 20:1 replica of the EUR 50-cent, you see it being milled out here. We needed to do quite a bit of sanding, lacquering and smudging to obtain the desired look and some climbing to get into required shooting position (you need to get up real high to take good pictures). The result is a short series of photographs, attempting to visually scale down real-sized objects.

Ich weiß nicht, wie Sie’s halten, aber ich merke mir solche Leute. Gerade solche, die von unserer als der freiesten aller Gesellschaften schwafeln, aber sich in wütendste Apologeten der Staatsgewalt verwandeln, sobald sie das Gefühl haben, dass nun doch der Ausnahmezustand vor der Tür steht. Diese Leute sind zu nichts zu gebrauchen.
