ME SO SMALL

In the ME SO SMALL installations in combination with the wall or objects such as rare car models, the artist supposedly becomes a vandal.

He draws a grimace on the wall or the model with a gestural stroke. This action devalues or perhaps even damages the valuable object on the one hand and at the same time enhances it and elevates it to the status of an art object.

In the interaction with the wall on site, Kriesel counters the fast-moving times with a fixed installation.

This contradiction in terms is what appeals to the artist. Because at a time when the production and consumption of creative works or “just” beautiful things is becoming almost inflationary, general values are also shifting.
