Gottfried Helnwein part 2

How does this change in viewpoint change your interpretation of the image? What do you see? Describe it as if you were recounting it in detail to someone who had never seen it. Think about the scale--how could the size affect the meaning?  Think about the material, the logistics and engineering of mounting it.  Is it one contiguous image or is it spliced together or can't you tell? is it urban? Rural? Residential? Industrial? Given the image's location, who do you think will see the it? Who is the intended audience? Describe the mood of the image. What is the expression on the girl's face? Is it blase? Is it engaged? Is it optimistic? Wondering? Melancholy? Finally, consider the title "The Last Girl". What do you think the title suggests? 

Now seeing the whole image I realize the man on the women's face was regular size and the women's face was just enlarged.I see a studio image where someone has a painting very big of a women's face. This painting is about 7 stories tall, this makes everyone else feel small in comparison. It is one contiguous image because every piece matches up perfectly so it couldn't be little pieces. It's industrial because it's a big empty building. I think people biking or driving could see this or a tourist attraction. The mood of this image melancholy she doesn't have a but expression but you can tell sadness. She is probably the last of a generation.
