Peter Meseck & Friedrich Wall: NOPOSTEREditorial staff: Peter Meseck, Friedrich Wall and Dietmar KirvesTranslations: Nicole Becker and Caroline Schiener Info about the artists ►MESECK + WALL
Both, Peter and Friedrich, are converting advertising posters in such a way that new contents take form. The originally meant effect of the poster is set off and turns into its opposite. Smooth faces with slick shapes mutate to grotesque mugs and grimaces with crippled bodies of apparent leprosy. Existing hidden aspects of a different kind come to light anyhow. But the hidden aspects belong to the authentic as it is impossible that worlds exist without having an opposite. Platforms develop into subsidiary platforms and subsidiary platforms develop into meta platforms where everything takes place. It’s by no means the creation of a new world or even a new story. On the contrary: these platforms hold on tight to the existing for a change. Peter and Friedrich are simply reversing it, they turn it upside down, put it aside or on its back to show what is still inside, what exists without being apparent at first sight. Here the real world is confronted with an opposite full of imagination. Everything is existing, everything is allowed as everything not allowed is true. - Klaus Ferentschik
