Raoul Müller自述：
春节时在中国旅行，我被两种中国传统的东西迷住了：那些漂亮的代表着不同人物角色的大头娃娃面具和艳丽的预示来年好运的年画。面具和年画展现着一个完美、欢快的日常生活主张，一种非常俗气的生活，但现实生活展现的则是另一面。
作品《东游记》利用了传统春节的这些道具，加上我的出现创作成新的年画，重新诠释幸福和好运。

This is an exhibition at artist’s appartment where Raoul Müller lived and worked during the last 5 months. The series photograph “Journey to East” was created with: big head mask on him in front of the gorgeous New Year pictures and ordinary stuff found from his appartment. We invite you to the exhibition opening “WELCOME”!

Artist Statement:
While traveling through China during the Spring Festival I was fascinated by two traditional things: the beautiful big head masks, which represent different characters, and New Year Pictures, which have a sentimental touch and are bought to bring good luck in the upcoming year. The masks and the pictures show a perfect, very happy and contended everyday life, a very kitschy life. But on the contrary the daily reality shows another side of the coin.
The work titled "Journey to the east" is made of these traditional Spring Festival props (requisites). I've used them to make posters with myself in it and reinterpret the world of happiness and good luck.
