  • A young girl holds railings at the site of Brussels' famous landmark, the Mannekin Pis statuette, dressed in red. A red theme appears from the statuette’s costume, the girl’s coat and the No Entry sign. Manneken Pis (literally little man pee in Marols, a dialect spoken in Brussels, also known in French as le Petit Julien), is a famous Brussels landmark. It is a small bronze fountain sculpture depicting a naked little boy urinating into the fountain's basin whose wardrobe consists of several hundred different costumes. It was designed by Jerome Duquesnoy and put in place in 1618 or 1619. It bears a similar cultural significance as Copenhagen's Little Mermaid. The statue is dressed in costume several times each week, according to the published schedule that is posted on the railings around the fountain.

  • Fake classical Greek statues stand outside a night club in Nafplio, a former Byzantines, Frank, Venetian, and Ottoman coastal Peloponnese port town of 14,000 on the Argolic Gulf. The walls of this modern building seen near wasteland on the outskirts of town are made to look authentic but result in a false tourist style. There are three pieces of fake art that stand on well-watered grass: One of a nude Greek Goddess, a miniature lion in the middle and nearest the viewer is a naked figure of a man - muscular and classically posed as a heroic and mythical figure. Nafplio was also the first capital of independent Greece which was  destroyed in the 7th Century for its alliance with Sparta. This contemporary landscape is therefore bears no resemblance to its heritage.

  • Standing in the corner of a brightly sun-lit window, a classical reproduction bust is seen in a hotel foyer in the modern town of Olympia, the birthplace of athletics and the Olympic ideal. Amid the woodland of ancient Olympia where for 1,100 continuous years, the ancients held their pagan festival of sport and debauchery. The modern games share many characteristics with its ancient counterpart. Corruption, politics and cheating interfered then as it does now and the 2004 Athens Olympiad echoed both what was great and horrid about the past.

The 29th modern Olympic circus came home to Greece in 2004 and the birthplace of athletics and the Olympic ideal, amid the woodland of ancient Olympia where for 1,100 continuous years, the ancients held their pagan festival of sport and debauchery.

  • Tourist trinkets and statues in the souk at Luxor, Nile Valley, Egypt. A vast selection of Pharaonic statuettes and figurines are piled up on tables and shelves awaiting visitors to arriave and barter for the prices and deals. The heritage industry and local businesses are obviously very dependent of the tourism industry and therefore badly affected by the downturn. According to the country's Ministry of Tourism, European visitors to Egypt is down by up to 80% in 2016 from the suspension of flights after the downing of the Russian airliner in Oct 2015. Euro-tourism accounts for 27% of the total flow and in total, tourism accounts for 11.3% of Egypt's GDP so communities like this are suffering economically, as a result.

  • Female colleagues enjoy a chat over an alfresco lunch in the city alongside an art installation of women at the beach. Rather suggestively we see, one lady eating a fresh banana to suggest a sexual act but this is in the open air at one of the City of London’s financial district’s landmarks, Broadgate that is adjacent to Liverpool Street Station whose arched Victorian roof is seen in the background. The scene is of the female gender, taking a well-earned break from office life, while perhaps, dreaming of and planning their next holiday vacation on a tropical beach. The working women and their leisurely counterparts are juxtaposed from an unknown artist’s installation in London. The banana, by its very curved shape has long been the butt of sexual innuendo and double-entendre. The surrogate penis being the perfect adult pun.

  • A young male admires a sexy girl watched be the statuette of a small woman credited to the 19th century Florence-born artist Raffaello Romanelli. In afternoon sunlight, the girl is on the corner of Albermarle Street and Piccadilly, London W1, Westminster. Oblivious to the attention on her by an unknown man, the girl in blue walks fast along the pavement listening to her portable device, a career girl in the fast modern city - the opposite of the classical figure in the rug and carpet shop window who bares a breast while wearing jewellery. The female form is on show to the male of the species.
