Mäschi – *1988 Berne, Switzerland
„BÄRI, my only best friend VI.“ 2022.
3D scan of the plush toy, digitally reworked and animated.
Edition of 3.
It has been at least thirty-four years since he first saw the light of day. The exact circumstances of his genesis are difficult to trace and thus remain largely shrouded in a diffuse fog. The only certain cornerstones are the following: A former medical practitioner with the surname "Van der Linden" was present shortly after the birth and introduced the future best friends to each other in 1988. Furthermore, the two originally come from different continents, namely Europe and Asia, and have been inseparable since they met.
For the first time, a few people get the chance to welcome BÄRI as a new friend in their own lives - BÄRI, your own new best friend. So open your heart and let BÄRI enrich your life as a friend, but also as a projection screen for your own self!
Id, Ego, and Superego; and don't forget "BÄRI*, my only best friend".
The NFT edition "BÄRI, my only best friend" by Mäschi (*1988 Berne, Switzerland) is based on the WWF panda plush toy, which the artist received as a gift from a doctor colleague of his father's for his birth. The plush toy was given the name "BÄRI". All NFT works of the first NFA Art Edition by Mäschi are based on the original BÄRI as a 3D scan. The edition deals with the artist's personal childhood. The six different versions can also be understood as different facets of childhood. In addition to the fact that time is visually materialized in the plush toy, transience also confronts us as viewers as a memento mori. Structure and surface not only become visible but can also be experienced on a meta-level. Above all, the focus is on a person's personal emotional relationship with a remnant from his childhood, which has lasted since the artist was born: "BÄRI - my only best friend".
