This little painting was in my studio for 2 years. Something was missing and last night in a ‘state of Heightened Awareness’ and without thinking I added 4 highlights and suddenly the painting came alive. Wow. -If look at it from a distance an ‘alternate reality’ appears. No words can capture this. Magical.
FIGHTING WITH INSTRUMENT
(Plywood construction,180cm x 100cm x 85cm, Dirk Marwig 1996)
*The construction of this object from 1996 is so simple: 4 cut and shaped pieces of 12mm plywood connected where the slots are. It was easy to take apart and to set up, to transport and to store. I always put it up by myself and I looked like the object itself (or as if I was playing “Twister”) I made two of this object. I have no idea who has them. Lucky them. The photos are scanned from small photos which I found in a box a while ago.
Two primitive “machos” showing what they’ve got (to each other!). This male behaviour pattern cracks me up.
