TERRA MY TERRA PLANET SO SWEET
I CAN FEEL YOU UNDER MY FEET
This is already the third individual exhibition by THOMAS STIMM at our
gallery and in it we are presenting the products of SOYLENT GREEN. Behind
this term  a tribute to the film of the same name by Richard Fleischer,
dating from 1973 Â is concealed a "new planetary awareness", which Thomas
Stimm, together with UTA WEBER, has consistently translated into his
artistic work since 1995.
"We are decorators of artistic worlds and love colourful rooms. It is
beautiful to view a picture, but it is much more beautiful to stand inside
it ....
Using artistic concepts which play with form, colour, pattern and sounds, we
want to contribute towards creating a new identity for our native planet. It
is our aim to develop a sensual artifice which could represent a common
platform for all the inhabitants of this star called TERRA. TERRANIAN DOTS,
the rooms designed by us, are places of convergence, in which the human
being stands at the centre. Our design of them is intended to heighten this
event sensually.
In our work we attempt to establish the name TERRA for our planet. TERRA is
intended to be the name for the beginning and basis of terranian culture and
to signify the notion of home for every living creature of this star.
Our artistic production consists of editions. Our publishing company is
called BEST OF OUR PLANET PRODUCTION and includes the labels TERRANIAN WEAR,
TERRANIAN COMFORT, TERRANIAN CULTURE and TERRANIAN FOOD.
