"Frankfurt artist Case Maclaim created the mural for Walls Can Dance 2024 right next to the Marckmannstraße school in Hamburg's Rothenburgsort district.

The artwork is part of a series in which Case Maclaim portrays people who are wheelchair-bound.

On the approximately 230 square meter mural, Case Maclaim portrays the artist Finn Zielsdorf, who has been confined to a wheelchair since an accident.

The image shows the person in the wheelchair from a bird's eye view, looking down at the viewer through a mirror held on their lap. The perspectives are unusual or reversed; it is not the person in the wheelchair who has to look up at other people, as is often the case, but the viewers who look up at the person in the wheelchair. The person in the wheelchair determines how much they want to reveal about themselves by tilting the mirror.

Case Maclaim is a German mural artist who became particularly well known as a founding member of the legendary Maclaim Crew. For many years, he has been in demand internationally as a solo artist, creating huge photorealistic facade artworks all over the globe that nevertheless always have a certain degree of abstraction and often address socially critical issues."
