The Transformer

QT Museum Wellington, Wellington, Aotearoa New Zealand · 2018

In this site-specific interior mural, Heimler and Proc create a seamless junction between their exterior Mover mural on the building’s façade and the room itself, linking the existing window of the outdoor work with the actual space.

The composition reflects the hotel’s transformation into an ever more dedicated artistic destination in 2018. Their iconic figure, Human Potential, also present on the Berlin Wall, appears here holding a paintbrush and actively shaping the scene. Seagulls wheel across the luminous yellow ground, while the characteristic frieze of alternating kiwis and eggs crowns the wall, grounding the work in a distinctly New Zealand visual language. The result is a witty, self-referential dialogue between interior and exterior, art and architecture.
