Plaster Politics

This wall landscape in Faaborg (Denmark) shows the true character of plaster. It can be felt as a metaphor for the superficial layering every few years when politics colours the wall of our society. The wall is not being affected, not really.

Some ideas within political organisations are well-designed, some not at all. In pre-election-time, it is the land of plans and promises. They are mostly lost in translation when mixed up into governing coalitions. The plaster is produced when power comes to town. Coming from political ideas to good governance is not that easy! This wall says it all.
