Wounderland: Surreal World Of Imagination, Nightmares And Taxidermy

158

My girlfriend and I are Mothmeister. We create Wounderland – a weird and wonderful universe. We portray anonymous, ugly masked creatures as a reaction against the dominant exhibitionism of the selfie culture and beauty standards marketed by the mass media.

We are passionate taxidermy collectors. That’s why our lonesome characters are, most of the time, accompanied by mounted animals. We reincarnate these dead critters into fairy tale figures by dressing them up like the Victorian taxidermist Walter Potter did. Our surreal inspiration comes from our own imagination, dreams and nightmares.

    COLOUR use is stunning. IMAGES a constant unsettled child's smile. CONCEPT is exciting as the jitter bug on the dance floor. _PICCARD

    Disturbingly amazing. Would love a peak into this artists' brain...just a quick glimpse. Don't want to stay there too long

    Brilliant, like Max Ernst's surrealism coming to life. Theatrical alienation, disturbing in a comfortable way.

    I really love your work. there is something very touching about it. beyond the initial shock of the macabre images, there is a desolate vulnerability and even beauty about your subjects. it is a mix of Franz Kafka, Walter Potter, David Lynch, and Shelley's Frankenstein monster. Your photography is high art; so startlingly original and vividly imaginative.
