| A view of society, and the dilemma of globalization.
Enforced with a world wide network, an information overflow, and an ever growing population. Ending in a desolate state of helpless-
ness. Cultural,ecological, and social problems are repeated over and over again. In the installation the beer people
represent a soceity searching for entertainment, and dist-
raction, addicted to mass consumption.
Looking for ways to numb the pain. Happy go lucky, and powerless on their way to
self destruction.
The “beer people” were created in the year 1993, in an old Berliner beer “Kneipe”.
Made out of the paper ring that is attached to the bot- tom of a fresh tapped pilsner
beer glass, to absorb the foam drippings. This paper ring was the inspiration be-
hind the making of the “beer people”. Each figure is a unikat, torn, ripped and folded. |
