Childhood memories of the small fireworks, “Ladykracker” or “Frauenfurz” in Swiss German, form the starting point for this work.
The trivialization of the female fart already motivated me in an earlier sculptural work to scale a tied stick of female farts to the size of dynamite sticks.
This work is dedicated to the painterly effect of the explosive burning of such small fireworks on an empty white surface.
The random shapes of the microscopically small burn marks, which can only be influenced to a limited extent, follow the universal laws of nature.
According to the principle: the explosions make the picture!
In this work, I scale the captured burn marks to a monumental size, thus emphasizing the painterly effect of so-called “female farts” and also giving them the necessary space in the exhibition so that they cannot be overlooked.
