Crazymichael, 2010

Vinyl
25 x 15 x 15 cm
9 13/16 x 5 7/8 x 5 7/8 inches
Crazymichael is a re-production in vinyl based on a sculpture first created by Lau in 2008 for his collaboration with Nike, the Air Crazy Force 1 shoes.

The Crazymichael sculpture replicates the artist figure bounded in what looks to be a straitjacket - the end knot resembles a shoelace.

While drawing a physical association to the shoe project, the shoelace also symbolises the trend and consumption culture of today. The artist hopes to bring a moment of reflection on how consumerism can absorb us without our consent.
