I mentioned in my first interpretation of this image that from where the man look suspended on the girl's face and how he looked like he was climbing a wall, that this could be a large painting on the side of the building or something. As it turns out, this was a work that was installed on a wall in Ireland. Helwein's image is a large, blown up picture of a girl on the side of what looks like a wall or other structure near the water. At the bottom of image three, you can see a car and people down by the car. The girl's picture takes up the entire space on the wall spare a little bit on the top, as seen in image two. The image was most likely printed or painted onto something sturdy before posted onto the wall. To mount it on the wall, the image was most likely spliced together though you can't tell where the parts meet up. The image looks like it is in an industrial area close to the water, hence the name Waterford. The people who would most likely see this image would...

Gottfried Helnwein's work is an close up image of a portion of someone's face. The image shows one of their eyes and eyebrows, their nose, their upper lip and a tiny person climbing up the center of the face as if it were a mountain and he was rock climbing. I think this is a picture was strategically shot so it looked as if the man were climbing the girl's face, when in reality, it could have been a painting on the side of a building or a wall or something, though the image doesn't really look painted on to anything. I think the photographer's intent was for the image to look like it was photoshopped, and he tried to convey the meaning of how perspective can change the way you think of things, possibly. The difference in scale between the man and the girl's face adds to my interpretation of the photography because the girl looks like a realistic girl, and the man could actually be climbing the face.
