The fact that Denmark will be run by Anders and Pia for 4 more years has sunk in. These are the people the Danish people have elected to take care of them.
Anders is Anders and Pia is Pia. If the voters can not see and judge for themselves based on their gut feeling, the state of mind of the people in Queen Margrethe's Kingdom are in Fear. And as all knows; the opposite of Fear is Love.
The best thing about the elections was essentially the posters around inner city of Copenhagen. I have tried to find out who actually created these posters, and was stopped by an enthusiastic Austrian journalist--while I was taking the pictures--who also wanted to know...but I had no clue who it was. Someone said there had been an article about them somewhere..and it was someone from the art academy. In any case the over-painted election posters of right wing candidates, and a couple social democrats had some messages on them that was perfectly located in front of HC Andersen
on Rådhuspladsen (Town Square) and down the walking street Strøget exhibited to Mr and Mrs Denmark. The messages are rather cryptic, sharp and to the bone in the very street style language of underground contemporary art. The great thing is also to imagine the artist doing these paintings right then and there, on the inspiration of standing in front of the municipality building, HC Andersen, the shops of Strøget and the frustration over Danish politics. I likes.
