German installation artist Wolfgang Stiller is a fire-starter, a twisted fire starter. I mean look at the heads on those hot-rods, they are like blackened indignant old man orgasm faces, like maybe he hasn’t squeezed one out in a while and then a little grey drop comes out the end and he’s so ecstatic that he just INTERNALLY COMBUSTS on peaking.
I find these matchstickmen so beautiful, with the open match boxes looking like open funeral caskets; the faces serene but with a sense of something sudden and tragic has befallen upon them and they lie where they were struck down.
