From 1997 onwards I also studied visual communication with Ott and Stein at the Kassel Art Academy; He completed both courses in 2002 and has since worked as a freelance artist and designer in Kassel.

The focus of work in the field of photography, painting, drawing and sculpture by the Kassel artist Michael Göbel is always linked in terms of content. In his installations, Michael Göbel integrates model-like sculptures of specially made, scaled-down reconstructions of real conditions based on exact photo research. With these scenarios, which have been reduced in size (= scaled down), he ironically questions social values (= concepts of values) and status symbolism. In his spectacular installations, Michael Göbel integrates models of specially made, scaled down reconstructions of real conditions and movements based on exact photo research. Thus, he literally turns reality upside down for the viewer and at the same time ironically questions social values and habits. In terms of content, his works are not only about dealing with real spaces and their formal aspects, but about insights and localizations in the sense of views or points of view.
Since 1996 Göbel has carried out various solo exhibitions and participates in group exhibitions at home and abroad.
