Kapspike & Goebbels

Artist Statement

our practice was born of the frustration that we experienced at our inability to articulate coherently with others. 'What can be shown, cannot be said' Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889 - 1951) Kapspike & Goebbels insert familiar icons within incongruous situations, wherein the juxtaposition of beauty with cruelty and evil with the mundane can be exploited to challenge societal complacency. the Kapspike & Goebbels universe is a multimedia presentation. we collaborate with actors, photographers, performance artists and composers. once the principles of a project are established we offer guidance to ensure that its thematic integrity is maintained. however, each project ultimately reflects the aesthetic and artistic sensibilities of the collaborators involved. 'Art is a confession' Albert Camus (1913 - 1960)
