KRAFT Design

Just finished this massive Dj Table for my beloved friend Izzi Bizzi 🙌 for the frame we gave a second life to 100 year old steel beams which used to hold the balconys of a monumental building in Neukölln. A lot of love and the energy of Berlins past materialized in this piece 🌇

Yesterday my Installation 'Goliath' was on screen at United We Stream Festival - Community Watch Party :)

A honor to work with this dedicated Crew ❤

DISGUISE | DEMASK

This evening we invite you to join the United We Stream - Festival pepped up visually with "Goliath" by Johannes Kraft.

The impersonation of a seemingly superior opponent within ourselves symbolizes the constant oscillation between disguise and demasking, fueled by fear and the desire for inclusivity and protection.

Initially the installation has emerged from the examination with the various masks everyone of us is constantly wearing, adapting to the social context we linger in. After its genesis KRAFT Design recognized a strong mystic presence originating from his work leading to the name of Goliath, the scriptural giant who seemed to be invincible but was slayed by the faith of his opponent.
Throughout the last years Goliath became a symbol of our tribe’s holistic understanding of arts. Goliath continued teaching us a lot about the importance of visual and sculptural artistry as well as about the people who have been contributing to our events, festivals, exhibitions and gatherings with their individual creativity. Especially in the subcultural context in which we operate music and musicians often seem to be in the focus of organizers and audience neglecting to value visual and haptic arts. Through this process, we truly learned to respect the multiple dimensions of art and the huge amount of passionate work that underlies the finished piece.

What a crazy weekend with my Bipølar Crew! Real Techno spirit & Lovely People 👽

Last weekend, my first steel-made installation was on display at the beautiful FEEL-Festival. Very inspiring work, be sure there will be more to come...
