From 22 to 26 August 2013, the 15-meter-high mural entitled “There is something better than perfection” was created in Frankfurt on a façade at the corner of Stiftstrasse and Große Eschenheimer Strasse. With this work, the artist duo is represented for the 13th time with a Mural in Frankfurt’s urban space. The great work of art corresponds entirely to the well-known style of the duo. It shows large fairy-like figures, portrayed in a pose that persists. In a city like Frankfurt, where many people are busy perfecting their lives, the Mural has a warning and admonishing effect and indicates what the artist duo considers to be really important. A mother holds her child in her arms. Both have taken off their golden masks, they have pushed them up on their foreheads and the mother looks lovingly down on her child. The technique of the two artists leads to the impression that they are sketchy drawings on paper. One forgets that they are meter-high wall works. Unfortunately, the mural is no longer visible since another building was built in front of it.
