characters at war

From October 1st through November 5th 2004, Pictoplasma and Zentralbuero present:

characters at war !

The accompanying design exhibition “Characters at war!” enables you to finally meet the elite of international character design - literally eye-to-eye.
From Super Mario to Dalek’s Space Monkey - hundreds of all time favorites and shiny newcomers from the flat-faced world of comics, graffiti and merchandising are pushing through to the third dimension! The loveliest, cutest, and strangest characters stand tall as life-size cardboard cut-out stand-up soldiers arranged in a gigantic walkthrough battlefield installation!

A classical war painting comes to life in a cut-throat competition of consumer icons and brutally violated copyrights!

And behind the foot soldiers of this enormous anthropomorphic army are none other than
the heroes of the international design scene: Buero Destruct, Phunk Studio, Snowcat,
Fawn Gehweiler, ESM, ACNE, ShagArt, Mari-chan, unit9, Jim Avignon and many more...

“Characters at war!” is funded by
the German Federal Cultural Foundation
Kulturstiftung des Bundes
