From the 25th April hangs the 12 x 10 meter mobile mural "rien ne va plus" (as topically to the financial crisis) on the bunker in Duisburg.
It is not in such a way, as if it had known nobody, where these financial speculations lead to, even if everybody acts surprised now. Farbfieber has painted already in 2004 this 12 x 10 meter mobile mural together with an artist from Istanbul and an artist from Havana.
Beside many ideas, the project Mural-Mobil is continued, because the pictures argue topically with the questions of global poverty, environmental destruction and justice. The huge mobile murales (10 x 12 meters) can borrow for public actions.
