The city of Houmt Souk celebrates its economic progress with this salute to the twenty-one year reign of president Ben Ali. This portable tribute was mounted on wheels and parked in the middle of the largest town on Tunisia’s heavily touristed Jerba Island. Jerba’s airport authority, a major player in Tunisia tourism, sponsored the display. I made this image from a low vantage point to elevate the political iconography stressing the primacy of the president. (The primacy ended in January 2011, when Ben Ali was forced to flee Tunisia by a popular revolt.)
