On Tuesday, October 6, a gilded statue of US President Donald Trump was unveiled in the European Parliament building in Strasbourg. The satirical work titled Orange Plague measures approximately two and a half meters including the pedestal and will be on display in the parliament's premises for three days. ta3.com ↗
The statue depicts a naked Trump sitting on the shoulders of an emaciated man. In some depictions, the figure is also placed on a globe. The author of the work is Danish artist Jens Galschiöt, who based its design on the fairy tale The Emperor's New Clothes. Merkur ↗
The artist also handed out smaller versions of the statue to visitors. The work is meant to satirically draw attention to the gap between the public image of political power and reality. The gilded rendering and the naked depiction of the president are part of the statue's artistic message. STVR (Spravy) ↗
A similar installation has previously appeared in other locations, including Munich. The current display at the seat of the European Parliament in Strasbourg has attracted attention due to the statue's striking appearance and its placement within an institution of the European Union. seznamzpravy.cz ↗
After three days, the work is to be removed from the parliament. The further fate of the statue, as well as any possible continuation of its public display, has not yet been specified in detail.
