His style was also connected to pop art, a current which challenges tradition and emphasizes mass production. Here is a better interpretation of Stefan’s work from href="http://wickedhalo.blogspot.com/2009/05/stefan-strumblers-heimat.html" target="_blank">Wicked Halo: “Although his work includes cultural artifacts such as cuckoo clocks or the traditional costume of the Black Forest, he isolates and recontextualises using everyday objects such as tree-shaped air fresheners and shopping carts and giving pieces of his work titles such as “What the fuck is Heimat”? Heimat is a quintessentially German concept, which roughly means homeland. “There is no English word for Heimat,” Strumbel explains. “Some people link Heimat to a place, for others it is a feeling.”- via href="http://www.psfk.com/2010/02/pics-stefan-strumbels-street-art-cuckoo-clocks.html">Psfk.com
