GIANT WHEEL
2014
Concept:
"Life is like a ride on a giant wheel. The key is to enjoy the ride all the time. Enjoy when you’re up and enjoy when you’re down. Enjoy when it goes round and round. It’s all part of the same ride." MINIMAN
Context:
I am creating polaroid art since the year 2000. I want to show the truth. I manually edit and manipulate the polaroids in my own original style.
2015 I finally made the artistic choice to show not just the image but the entire polaroid without the matt frame. I want to show how the polaroid really looks underneath the frame in its most authentic true way. This artistic choice is in alignment with my message and mission as an artist to expose the lie (matrix) and show reality, show the truth and wake people up.
“In search for the truth and what’s real I scratch the surface and find out there is “nothing” behind it. Now I want to peel the skin off reality - exhibit the matrix - to show that the world is only an illusion. …” MINIMAN

“In search for the truth and what’s real I scratch the surface and find out there is “nothing” behind it. Now I want to peel the skin off reality - exhibit the matrix - to show that the world is only an illusion.”
