This most surreal and amusing image promotes nothing other than a Zürich-based laundry service. The rooster, always out to impress and strut his proverbial stuff, is donning a freshly-pressed tuxedo shirt, complete with a perfectly-starched collar. Hardmeyer’s choice of this unusual subject also reflects the fact that his true passion was children’s book illustration.
