Gottfried Helnwein Response cont.

My view point of the image changed very little.  My view of it being a mural remains the same though now instead of the man repelling on it he is actually hanging it up.  The image is a hyperrealistic mural of a female child with a blank expression.  Hyperrealism is a genre of painting and sculpture resembling a high-resolution photograph.  It also appears to be one continuous canvas.  It is in a industrial urban area on what appears to be an abandoned building. As of the name, "The Last Child", I am unaware of what the name means.

Gottfried Helnwein Response

 It appears to be a man repelling on a giant mural. This appears to be a mixture of both a documentary image and an artistic image. The documentary part is the fact that this is a photograph of a man repelling while the artistic side is the hyperrealism mural that he is repelling on.  I do not believe this to be photoshop. The meaning of the image and the photographers intent was to capture the shear size of the mural. The purpose of the difference in scale is to show how large the mural is.
