Merkel & Obama on the wall

2012

For the exhibition called “Bright Future” (Frohe Zukunft) in an old industrial building (MIS) in Magdeburg, initiated by our docent and Grimme Preis winner Uwe Mann, I made some illustrations of the most influential people of the world: “Mister President Obama” and “Frau Bundeskanzlerin Merkel”

And voilà the portraits of the two painted on the old walls.

Here’s a video documentation of this project (in German) by Torsten Seidler and Julia Korth, two of my classmates at Hochschule Magdeburg-Stendal.
