“Düffels Möll”, 1997
“Burning Up”, 1998
Wow, gerade erst entdeckt. “Düffels Möll” ist eine atemberaubende Performance des niederländischen Konzeptkünstlers Erik Wesselo. Auch sehr schön: Für das Video “Backwards” (1996) reitet er rückwärts durch den Wald und für “Burning Up” (1998) zündet er seine Haare an. “Erik Wesselo (1964, ‘s Hertogenbosch) is a conceptual Dutch artist whose work encompasses performances, videos, photographs and drawings. He earned early recognition with his bold performances, which involved setting his own hair on fire and getting the words “LOVE” tattooed on his hand. Comparably bold, if less in a physical way, he performed a public karaoke to his favorite songs. The video Düffels Möll, 1997 shows the artist attached to the turning wing of a typical Dutch windmill.”
