Rauchelesee Afters presents a landscape with two bronze sculptures—one of a woman in the adlocutio pose, the classical orator’s pose, holding a cigarette and the other of a muscular man with a wine bottle and glass. The woman's cigarette subverts the traditional symbolism of the pose, which typically represents virtue and eloquence, introducing a sense of decay or irony. The man's indulgence in wine contrasts with classical ideals of temperance, creating a dialogue between virtue and excess. This juxtaposition mirrors the themes in Mueller’s work overall, where classical and contemporary elements collide, revealing tensions between the past’s ideals and modern realities. Just as Mueller incorporates fragments of history into his dystopian landscapes, these sculptures blend classical references with modern vices, challenging the viewer’s perceptions of tradition and moral decay.
