Mickey Mouse

Abstract

In this project a Mickey Mouse stands as a destroyer of freedom at the entrance of Manhattan, at the place were people normally the statue of liberty expect.

Concept

In this project of the graphic design class of Holger Matthies, we had to use the commonly known Mickey Mouse and place her in a new environment. When the project was happening the second Gulf war in Iraq was in preparation. In worldwide discussions were about the justice / unjustness in that issue.
So I changed the statue of liberty by a Mickey Mouse, which holds a bomb in his hand.

For the reason to get a realistic image it was necessary to paint the green texture on a small model of the Mickey Mouse, so that it could be later photographed and placed instead of the statue of liberty.


On the picture is Mickey Mouse as a violant destroyer instead of the statue of liberty, at the entrance of Manhattan.
