Mathias “Bye bye dollar” (2007)

His works often contain radical expressions. We can see George W Bush flying an aircraft that buzzes an building, Hitler in Jewish clothes and a toilet flushing things that symbolizes the United States (US Dollor bills and fast food).

Video Art Installation, Mathias Exhibition “ALL ABOUT DEMOCRACY”

Mathias is also exhibiting a video art piece this time. Among sculptures illustrating an airplane flying to a building that remineds us of 9.11, we can watch three animations named “Theme Park”. They were originally created for broadcasting in Netherlands. The humorous and cynical animations featuring cute characters make fun of the fact that big companies control society and politicians are being controlled by someone.

Mathias says “My works can’t be radical enough.” Because “Reality is much more shocking.” His direct talking works give us time to stop to consider the shocking issues taking place around us.

Mathias Exhibition “ALL ABOUT DEMOCRACY”

“There are many problems in our society, but we can change it by ourselves. I hope that we cooperate to make a better society. I believe if we do bad things, they come back to us.”
