To frighten and in the same moment to allay fear – that seems to be a key principle of Spoerri’s art. A postcard series published by George Maciuna, which Daniel Spoerri collaged together with Robert Filliou, was called »Monsters are inoffensive«. Reading the diminutive title »Little Werewolves« seems to call upon us to remember this, but this is reinforced when you see the little teeth and their feet (shoes) behaving themselves and standing neatly together. The fearsome thing is held in check with three clamps.
