Alain Wildgen, also called Wuppes, is in his realm,
namely in his own party and gaming cellar.
Because he is up in the living room, he is not allowed to hang up too much of his work
because his wife is not as enthusiastic about video games as he is.
Under the critical eye of his children, Alain works
on a 3-dimensional image of a Super Mario level.
With the scalpel millimeter is cut out exactly pixel by pixel.
First, I think about what game I want to do.
And there are always games that I liked to play myself.
I have never done a Pokemon diorama because I have never played Pokemon.
And then, when I know what kind of game I want to do,
I think about which scene to pick, where to best get the 3d effect.
Such a picture is also called diorama.
Six years ago, Alain became aware of stencils on the internet,
from which one could fold video game characters.
But he soon wanted more than just making individual figures.
As a decor for the then still empty wall in the party cellar
he has glued and framed a whole Mario level.
Alain has found his passion.
Today he has made over 50 dioramas.
I'm not busy every week either. I also had a break for a few months where I did not work at all.
But after a while I notice, then it itches in the fingers, and then I feel like making a new picture.
With paper, styropor and sponge rubber the digital scene turns into analog,
and from 2 dimensional into 3 dimensional.
A big part of the work is finding individual motives on the Internet,
preparing forms at the computer.
Depending on the subject, Alain works for 2 to 10 hours on a picture.
In the case of his most complicated project,
a village from the Nintendo game The Legend of Zelda, it was even 30 working hours.
Because there are so many, very small details.
It was a lot of fun because it was really small to cut all the hedges,
trees and houses out. And that's what I like best.
As a big video game fan, Alain also has some retro consoles.
The pixelated look of the games from the 80s and 90s
not only gives him inspiration, but also a sense of nostalgia.
Earlier, that was so much fun.
There are so many memories that remind me of my childhood and youth when I used to play a video game.
And because at the moment, because of the children, I do not have much time to play games,
that was also an ulterior motive.
Now if you have the picture hanging on the wall,
you just have to look at the picture, and you're like a little kid in your memory again.
Meanwhile, Alain regularly tours exhibitions
with his dioramas and has also organized workshops for children.
The international gaming community has become aware of his work via the Internet.
Some of his works have already been exhibited in play museums,
both in Germany and in the USA,
but he does not want to earn money with his art.
I want it to be a hobby for me,
where the joy is not lost.
And I think if I start taking pictures all the time to sell,
I'd be under pressure.
I fear that then the desire would be lost.
For that, I have put everything on the net, where people can tinker,
because it is really not too difficult.
And I think everyone has someone in their circle of friends who can handle scissors and glue.
What also applies to play with friends in childhood
is also true of Alain's retro art.
Everyone can and can join in,
you just need a bit of skill.
