"A sojourn in Palm Springs in the early summer of 2011. Three people lingering around a Mickey Mouse shaped pool in the breezy backyard of a cul-de-sac closet originally owned by Steve McQueen.

Lars Neckel (*1975, living in Berlin) works as visual artist, designer and conceptional mind. Questioning viewing patterns, settings and meanings in space his work is intrigued by Alétheia, disclosure, the original affiliation of presence and absence. It is out of this antagonism of truth that he manipulates the familiar and the everyday through alienation, fragmentation and abstraction, allowing us to experience new layers of meaning in reality.
