SMALL is the new big

There's a double-symbol in the picture. Hope you see what i was trying to illustrate.
Damn, this was a tough job because of bad picture quality and bad lighting. I am not satisfied with the outcome but I hope you get the concept and the feeling anyway.

Title inspired by Seth Godins Book "Small is the new big". ( picture surely by Sarahs latest works and some of Totte's, John's and Wim's stuff ).

I AM a small person and i had some trouble with it, so this is also a little "fuck you" to all those that think tall people are higher class or small people are lower. We're all the same, you freakin' shitheads. Character, intellect, love and state of mind is what counts, right? Dig it. And I'll laugh at you tomorrow... if i feel like it.

Have a good friday.

Have you actually been victim of the treatment you're talking about (people who "think tall people are higher class or small people are lower")? Cool image! :)

Wow does people really think like that?

Well my cousins boyfriend is no more than 152cm high, we tease him a bit some time, but I've never thought of him as a lower class.

How tall are you actually?

I'm right there with you. I'm not very tall either and sometimes it's a pain in the butt.

But, seriously Sascha. This picture made me laugh out loud. It's fantastic in concept and execution! I love the looks on the two clone's faces.

assbach says:

Not sooo very small, i think 1,73m or so. That's what my ID says ;-)
But still the smallest around most times... Most people don't think so actually, some do, i believe there are some that don't like tall people also. Pure discrimination.
Funny part about it: When i was on stage back in the days singing, people used to call me "Power-Zwerg" which means : "power-dwarf", cause i spread so much energy and i didn't look like it... ;-)

petite corneille says:

Hmmm. When I think of it, you're right. I actually have a principle of never telling how "tall" I am, because people often think I'm taller than I am, so... But at my kickboxing club, people have respect for me because they know that I might be very small, I can kick their asses anytime! Hehehe! ;-)

LMAO....Laughing My Ass OFF on this one Sascha....hilarious. But you are right, even with women. My whole family is short, I measure by feet so...I am only 5'2 and my dad is only 5'5. So there you go!! Even in your pics, you don't look small. Oh well, what do I know...you are probably still taller than my family! :))
Thanks for the laugh on Friday!

Most small people i know have had to compensate by gaining big attitude! I think self-esteem and confidence to stand up for ourselves are all we need--tall or small .This is so cool!

Ich hatte bislang immer nur gehört, dass Schwarz das neue Weiß ist oder Pink das neue Marineblau. Aber das verwirrt wahrscheinlich noch mehr. Das Bild ist super gelungen!

LOL! Great job, Sascha, even if the pic is a bit dark it still conveys very well what you are trying to say.
You look so tall in your photos, though! :D

cool shot - I love the expressions - intentional or not I see the guy on the stairs looking up for approval and the guy standing looking down with disdain... our inner fight... and for the record... I was pretty small 47 years ago, right now I'm about 5'11", in another 40 years I'll be small again... but inside I keep growing!

I see the larger body with the smaller head as symbolizing "small mind" and vice versa with small body/ larger head "greater wiser mind"...
Awesome shot Sascha! Friday Funny!!! lol :-D
