SCULPTURE

OAK, From the series "Are You Ready For Xtinction": »What The Shit Is Going On? [6.8.1945 // 3.9.2017], Mixed Media
On 6 August 1945, the US forces dropped the atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima to end the Second World War. Hundreds of thousands of people died as a result of the bomb.
Since 1945, over 2000 nuclear tests have been carried out by eight nations worldwide. An explosive force equivalent to around 34,000 Hiroshima bombs has been released in the process and into our atmosphere.
On 3 September 2017, a nuclear bomb was detonated (unannounced) for test purposes as part of North Korea‘s nuclear weapons programme. Its explosive power was ten times that of the Hiroshima bomb.
For every unannounced nuclear test by North Korea, the military defence services of the superpowers USA and Russia only have a maximum of six minutes to decide whether an attack situation exists and whether a nuclear counter-strike must therefore be carried out.
»At his inauguration Donald Trump got handed over the nuclear suitcase. The Americans euphemistically call it “The Football.” German artist OA Krimmel has created a 3D printed and handpainted object for the 16th Triennal of Small Sculptures (Germany) that morphs this football to its true face: a skull! With this he's criticizing the absolute insane fact that a single [erratic] person holds the absolute power to extinguish humanity. (By the way, Vladimir Putin has such a nuclear suitcase as well.)«
