Die Neuauflage von Patricia Wallers Katalog “Bad Luck” von 2009, nun mit dem Titel “Even Worse Luck”, ist um ihre Arbeiten aus der neuen Serie “Broken Heroes” erweitert worden, die im Sommer 2012 in der gleichnamigen Ausstellung in der Galerie Deschler Berlin erstmalig gezeigt wurden. In dieser Serie setzt sich Patricia Waller kritisch mit dem Starkult unserer Gesellschaft auseinander, wobei der Star, der Promi oder das Idol als zeitgenössischer Ersatz für den Helden dient. Wie gewohnt bestechen Wallers gehäkelte Figuren durch bissige Ironie und schwarzen Humor: So haben wir diese Helden noch nie gesehen – Ernie, als versoffener Penner mit gelbem Quietschentchen, hat seine besten Tage längst hinter sich, Spiderman hat sich unseligerweise in seinem eigenen Netz verfangen und Spongebob, als Selbstmordattentäter mit um den Körper geschnalltem Sprengstoff, droht uns alle in die Luft zu jagen.
The new edition of Patricia Waller’s 2009 catalogue “Bad Luck”, now with the title “Even Worse Luck”, has been expanded to include the works from her new series “Broken Heroes,” on view for the first time in the exhibition of that same title at Galerie Deschler Berlin in the summer of 2012. In this new series Patricia Waller reflects critically on the cult of the star in our society, where the star, the celebrity or the idol serve as a contemporary substitute for the more traditional hero. As is customary with her work, Waller’s figures, all done in crochet work, are marked by biting irony and black humor. Surely you have not seen these heroes as presented here by Waller: Ernie is a drunk bum with his yellow rubber ducky who has seen better days, Spiderman is hopelessly entangled in his own net, and Sponge Bob confronts us threateningly as a suicide bomber with enough explosives strapped around his body to lay a city block to waste.
