The scenes often prompt memories of influential stories of the “Suppenkasper” from the German children’s book Struwwelpeter or Wilhelm Busch’s pious Helene. Small instances of carelessness can lead to terrible consequences. But in Pretzer’s pictures we are not confronted with dark disciplinary measures , but rather with black humour. The absurd, bad luck, great misfortune and failure of large and small projects simply happen. In these pictures there are no clearly identifiable instigators of fate or unfairness. The only thing, that the artist gives his protagonists on their Sisyphus path is empathy, which enable his lost creatures looking for support in ritualised poses to come completely near at us. Culprits or rogues seem to suffer just as much from the effects of the misdeed as the seemingly identifiable victim.
