Our friend and ambassador Jacob Appelbaum (currently artist in residence in Vienna) blogs:

Vienna at night is an interesting place. This is one of the cut out policemen. It’s a photo of a police officer printed to be life sized. The idea is that it will scare you into thinking it’s a real police officer. If you look closely, you’ll see that this one has some funky looking eyes.

    Hi Grenz and Jacob,

    I saw these cardboard cut-out ‘Bobbies’ about two years ago being used to control potentially speeding cars in Tyrol. You got to hand it to the authorities, it’s different….and bizarre.
