Wolfgang Stiller is a German based artist; Wolfgang developed a series of Matchsticks that feature ghostly, charred faced sculpted into one end. All these matchsticks having human faces and perfectly designed by Stiller. Stiller leaves the creative impression after presenting this type of art.
Stiller says, “The installation can appear like a battlefield or just like some playground where someone played around with matches and dropped them. All the heads I’ve used so far are from Chinese people. This sometimes leads to the assumption that this is a criticism of the Chinese government. One can read it that way, but I think this metaphor could be used for any western system as well. The matchboxes could be simply seen as formal elements within the installation, as coffins, or simply as matchboxes. I actually like to keep it open since I don’t like art that leaves no space for one’s own imagination.”
