A surrealistic scenario unfolds on the large wall of this multi-storey office building. The Spanish artist Liqen spent three weeks working on this detailed mural in 2016. The black-and-white façade drawing reveals apparatus, surveillance systems, concrete cubes and naked human bodies. Man and machine as a forced community in an apocalyptic landscape. The painting is both a vision and a memorial. It shows a future in which terror, media manipulation, technological progress and digitalisation reign. There seems to be no more room for human individuality and creativity.
Liqen is known for his socially critical murals. Commissions have taken him to Mexico, the USA and through Europe. Thanks to KolorCubes' Public Art Gallery initiative, Kassel now also has a freely accessible work by him.
The artwork is part of the "Public Art Gallery" project by KolorCubes.
This mural is also included in the audio tour "Streetart in Kassel- Schillerviertel" on izi.Travel. The tour was made possible by the cdw Foundation.
