Bruce Lee always formed a big part of my life: the martial artist but much more the philosopher. I dedicated this object to him. Kitsch transformed. “Be like water” is one of Bruce Lee’s most famous quotes- I always try!
DYSFUNCTIONAL (Plywood object, 35.5cm x 59.5cm x 15.3cm, Dirk Marwig 2008)
-I’m pretty practical and to my mind everything can have a purpose and could be put to “use”. With this object I simply made the choice to ‘keep it dysfunctional’! ‘To keep it open’, as they say. Simple as that. Of course, I could put a slab of glass on it or use it to put umbrellas in or put my TV “cable box”(which in reality is the case!) or magazines into it… the possibilities for practical “use” and application are almost endless if you put your mind to it. That’s why I kept it “Dysfunctional” in order to ‘open up that door’ of possibilities in the mind of the spectator.
NONRONG™ Diplomat (Plywood, oil, 70cm x 16cm x 1.5cm, Dirk Marwig 2007)
-Another totally useless object. It has no function, no purpose… it simply ‘IS’ and therefore ‘it’ is a ‘NONRONG’. Like the Diplomat: Always right!

DIRK MARWIG 1996 (Hardwood+wooden pole construction(300cm x 75cm x 60cm), and 2 plywood constructions,Dirk Marwig, Nikolaus Fischer Gallery,Franfkfurt, Germany 1996)
The object “All in the Mind” shows what our existence is all about: we only THINK that we THINK(we are controlled!) and we can only do what we think! It’s all a big hoax and we are not laughing and if we are laughing, we are on drugs.(This is a different view)
Untitled Object at Frankfurt Opera (5000 Plywood discs, aluminum poles, 500cm x 100cm x 105cm, Dirk Marwig 1997)
This took me 1 1/2 years to make: I would cut a few discs whenever I felt like it… never more than 20cm in a ‘go’. Each disc is signed, dated and has “DM + PS = :heart:″ written on it. 5000 times! The ceiling in the Chagall Room(It’s called that because right next to my object are like 10 Marc Chagall paintings) is 13m high, the object is 5m high, so a normal sized person would reach a little above the ‘name tag’ which is on the wall -(lower left).
Twirly (Plywood construction with oil and tennis string, 57cm x 57cm, Dirk Marwig 2008)
Originally called “Double Spatial Twist” I changed the name of this object in 2016 (8 years later) to “Twirly”. Easier.

PLASTIC FLORIDA (-wall object-Lacquered and coloured ‘Japan-paper’ on plexi-glass, 90cm x 65cm x 6cm, Dirk Marwig, Madrid 1998)
Everything about Florida, Miami, for example(if you have ever been there)-for me anyway- is the height of ‘plastic’ culture.
TWISTER, ALL IN THE MIND, SENSO GRAMM (Dirk Marwig at Nikolaus Fischer Gallery,Frankfurt, Germany 1996)
The object “All in the Mind” shows what our existence is all about: we only THINK that we THINK(we are controlled!) and we can only do what we think! It’s all a big hoax and we are not laughing and if we are we are on drugs.
SEYMOUR GLASSES (Plywood,glass lenses+stainless steel,21cm x 19cm x 14.5cm, Dirk Marwig, Madrid 1998)
