I "The
Flag Day“ Installation,
American flag*, electric iron, 2005 The
purpose of an electric iron is similar to that of a tank. The iron’s
purpose is to smooth an underground, to plane it and to eliminate any
resistances. *This
flag is used to cover the coffin on the occasion of military burials. The
inscription and the desert camouflage of the iron are those of the
American „Abrams M-1-A1 tank. artwork
II “It´s
a Beauty ”(Das ist Schön) This artwork indirectly criticizes the way we look at an artwork. It's beautiful! - It's not beautiful! - are the most said words by people after they've seen an artwork. This words define our thoughts, usually they are satisfying enough. The Princess Diana isn't here just by any chance, she was a symbol of beauty and purity that the society had created in her. The way the bust was created, it shows us that it seems to be as perfect as an industrial product. Should we understand the art, or should we just judge it by the way it looks?
