He uses and changes everyday objects that reference South African products or that have a personal or social connection to him and turn it into amazing art work. I actually really like his work it’s so simple and yet so full of detail and looks like it’s got so much story behind it, the simple things are the best! His earliest works were public performance, often without an audience on the streets of Johannesburg.
In 1998, he began documenting his performances, which he calls performative drawings by taking photographs of them so that he would later turn them into halting video animations that had the texture of flip books. In 2002, after moving to Berlin he shifted his practice from the urban streets into the contained space of his studio.
Nike has even been accused of ripping off one of his pieces for a television ad.
