equestrian statue

The contemporary equestrian statue, made by Anna Baranowski, continues a long tradition of imperious representations in painting in form of photography. She questions present-day`s authorities in a united Europe of the 21st century. Is it a fact that we live in a police state, or does the representation of violent policemen in mass media draw this kind of opinion? Which role does the power suggesting uniform play today and what kind of individual is hidden behind it?
