The Computerspiele videogame museum in Berlin is having a special art exhibition from Nov 9th until Dec 15th where the artist Stefan Schwarzer is showing his works/pictures on Street Fighter II.

It is an artistic approximation towards what has become one of the most influential computer games in the history of the genre. The level of its popularity has not subsided for two decades and it has inspired Stefan Schwarzer, a painter based in Leipzig, to attempt an artistic exploration from a variety of perspectives. One of his sources for orientation in the Street Fighter-Universe was the plenitude of works created by fans available on the internet. Thus he decided on a corresponding range of different techniques including drawings as well as flip-books allowing for unusual points of view.

Artist Stefan Schwarzer says: “In terms of its contents I think the emphasis of my interaction with Street Fighter II was an exploration of the games’ symbolic dimension with relation to reality and an analysis of fight and fighting as metaphors. In my interpretation I see the game to represent the struggle in our society for scarce resources like attention, love and a meaningful existence.”
