Description
Human-crafted. AI-refined.

This visually striking contemporary art piece features a distorted, crumpled pink frame that surrounds a book titled "How to Recover from Failure". The frame is adorned with sharp spikes, adding an unsettling and confrontational element to the work. The book's cover suggests the artwork's thematic focus on the challenges of overcoming failure and setbacks. The bold, vibrant pink color and the damaged, irregular form of the frame create a powerful visual metaphor for the complex emotional journey associated with failure and resilience. The artist's intention appears to comment on the transformative potential within the experience of failure, challenging the viewer to reconsider traditional perceptions of success and defeat. ...

Mathis Altmann’s installations and sculptures show a strong socio-critical awareness, and his skillful use of assemblage and collage portrays an intricately complex world. Using consumer goods, waste, everyday objects, and building materials, he creates scenarios that expose the illusion of a glamorous and carefree world and invites the audience to see beyond the surface. Altmann explores themes such as abundance, consumption, disposability, functionality, and superficiality, with a focus on creative digital work in a globalized and accelerated urban environment. He uses fierce irony and targeted hybridization to satirize the need for idealization, even though his works are exemplary, as well as reflects on how humans tend to find patterns and order in everything, resulting in meaningful stories and information. ...
