Think that the gnomes had a day off, ☺ .
Seen and captured in one of the streets in the town of Middelburg, Zeeland, The Netherlands.
My entry for Manic Monday.
Edit: please see my additional information below.Edit: meanwhile I got a reply. The by me depicted artificial tree is placed there temporary because of the contemporary art festival Middelburg from July 14th, 2017 till November 5th, 2017. The festival is called 'Fa�ade 2017'. The Dutch sculptor of this contemporary artwork is Anne de Vries. When you check-out this this link, you'll see a map. The artwork has the number 12 in this map.
I also got this additional information:
The sculpture that Anne de Vries (Den Haag, 1977) has made for Fa�ade 2017, is characteristic of his way of working. Having grown up in the world of internet, photoshop and social media, it's the most natural thing in the world for him to make and manipulate his own reality. Contact with the new media influences our perception of reality.
On the Koningsbrug in Middelburg and with the help of digital techniques, he has made a tree which is completely abstract but which has its roots in reality. The artificial tree, entitled Face Freedom looks hideous and sinister. So, not just an ordinary tree. Face Freedom wants to remind us of the reverse side of the wealth and glory of the golden age of Middelburg. Hidden behind the glorious mask is another story.
