Vanessa Safavi – The best fisherman is not the one who catches the most fish but the one who enjoys fishing the most

The best fisherman is not the one who catches the most fish 
but the one who enjoys fishing the most




2011
Edition. Fluorescent light (orange - yellow - violet) 
Produced by CREATIVE MATCH KREUZBERG 2011 
for Vanessa Safavi - Chert gallery & Motto distribution, Berlin

15 x 20 cm circa
Ed. 30 - price on request

The piece 'The best fisherman is not the one who catches 
the most fish but the one who enjoys fishing the most' (2011), 
was originally produced for Vanessa Safavi's solo exhibition 
in Cape Town, South Africa (Pro Helvetia residency program, 
2011). 
The installation is composed of different colored neon lights 
in the form of the capital letter M. This simple shape refers 
to the way children commonly draw birds and consequently 
acts as a very frequently used and simple gesture. 
Simultaneously, the use of neon lights are reminiscent of 
marketing and advertising logos. On the occasion of 
Kreuzberg/CMK 2011 the installation is extended to an edition 
of 30 single pieces. In this context, the piece appropriates 
a new meaning; heavily reminding of the M from McDonalds - 
of which a restaurant was built in the middle of Kreuzberg 
a couple of years ago and causing a heated debate in the 
district - it symbolizes the increasing gentrification in 
the neighbourhood.
