Lightweight concrete flower pots, copies of handmade granite vessels, are inexpensive contemporary items of representative outdoor decoration. Here four of them replace one among five replicas of over 300 year old garden sculptures, which at their times showed off the prestige and glamour of the former sovereign of the House of Hannover. We are questioning their timely value as "represantatives" of the people of the County of Lower Saxony in Germany. And ask: What could be an adequate represantation for a community today?
