A honor to work with this dedicated Crew ❤
DISGUISE | DEMASK
This evening we invite you to join the United We Stream - Festival pepped up visually with "Goliath" by Johannes Kraft.
The impersonation of a seemingly superior opponent within ourselves symbolizes the constant oscillation between disguise and demasking, fueled by fear and the desire for inclusivity and protection.
Initially the installation has emerged from the examination with the various masks everyone of us is constantly wearing, adapting to the social context we linger in. After its genesis KRAFT Design recognized a strong mystic presence originating from his work leading to the name of Goliath, the scriptural giant who seemed to be invincible but was slayed by the faith of his opponent.
Throughout the last years Goliath became a symbol of our tribe’s holistic understanding of arts. Goliath continued teaching us a lot about the importance of visual and sculptural artistry as well as about the people who have been contributing to our events, festivals, exhibitions and gatherings with their individual creativity. Especially in the subcultural context in which we operate music and musicians often seem to be in the focus of organizers and audience neglecting to value visual and haptic arts. Through this process, we truly learned to respect the multiple dimensions of art and the huge amount of passionate work that underlies the finished piece.
