The latest feature we discovered at this beach while
on our surf
roadtrip with YHA was a
series of buried spherical boulders (similar to Moeraki or Koutu boulders) which are featured
on the cover the NZ Frenzy (BEST NZ guide book).
Capitalism and its promise of a better life is explored through paintings
on luxury fabrics whose patterns acquire a neo-classical painterly quality; Orientialism and a subtle critique of European values are explored in the films of his
roadtrip to Pakistan and Afghanistan with shocking neutrality; and conceptual art is mocked in Potato House (1967) and paintings of absurd mathematical equations, while the
series of self - portraits — Polke as astronaut, Polke as drug — confront the contemporary individual in the mire of history.
