Oversized TIPP-KICK figures become objects of art. On the occasion of a Swiss football gala, the Swiss artist Beat Künzler created large TIPP-KICK figures.
The original kicker grew from seven centimetres to a height of four meters and became a fascinating and surprising stage decoration for the event.
The idea isn't entirely new. There have already been large and functional TIPP-KICK figures since 1998. Manufactured of material used for boatbuilding, produced at a wharf on Lake Constance, the 1.20-meter high kickers are an eyecatcher at trade fairs or as display window decorations in retail shops.
Marie-Luise Marjan, better known as Mother Beimer, measures herself against the TIPP-KICK XXL figures (see photo to left).
