Giant Mr. Punch and Judy parade puppets loom over shocked onlookers on a residential terraced street
Oversized, grotesque Punch and Judy giant puppets tower over a crowd of panicking residents on a classic British brick terraced housing street. The exaggerated hand-painted carnival figures show Punch holding a wooden club, while Judy clutches a tiny screaming baby, set against a muted overcast grey sky. The scene has a surreal, unsettling folk horror mood, with wide-eyed panicked onlookers fleeing from the towering parade installations.
