Actually cool idea.
Sehr coole Idee 🙂
*Las Meninas* for the age of AI.
I like it.
I guess OP believes the national language are German, French and English.
This is brilliant. It breaks with the typical rigidity of official portraits.
Also, Las Meninas vibes, which is always cool.
I don’t like this. An official portrait should give off a sense of seriousness and gravity, especially these days. This radiates a sense of choas and levity.
EMS squad.
I love the Swiss democracy model. The bsst in the World
and it kinda is the best picture in many year. i love it
I don’t know if this is a composite or a single shot, but it could be a single shot and that alone is amazing.
nice product placement of adobe photoshop 😛
How nice to see that the tradition of god-awful Federal Council pictures continues 💕
The apprentices/students in the background feel like a representation of the Swiss people. I quite like that. The Federal Council exists to serve the people, and it’s not wrong to have a (visual) reminder of this.
