Artwork description:
From the “Napoleon” series
188 days after the defeat at Waterloo..
Inspired by the famous 1983 film “Trading Place” by John Landis starring Dan Aykroyd, Eddie Murphy and Jamie Lee Curtis..
For a bet between bored rich people the lives of a broker and a homeless man are turned upside down. Roles are therefore exchanged between the rich stockbroker Louis Winthorpe III, haughty and satisfied albeit superficially, and Billie Ray Valentine, a beggar who is a bit of a swindler who passes himself off as a war veteran. Their lives intersect on Christmas Eve after a fight in the street.
Louis Winthorpe III finds himself drunk on the bus with a returning salmon after unleashing the sandwich in the Duke & Duke.
