Maximilian "Max" Siedentopf (born 27 June 1991) is a Namibian-German artist, designer, publisher and director. [1] [2] He is known for having set up an installation titled Toto Forever in the Namib Desert which consists of a ring of large white blocks atop of which sit six speakers attached to a solar-powered MP3 player configured to continuously play the 1982 song Africa by the American band Toto. The exact location of the installation has not been disclosed. [3] [4]
Siedentopf grew up in the city of Windhoek in Namibia, and continues to work in Berlin, Los Angeles, Amsterdam, and London. [5] He is a former competitive swimmer. [6] [7]
In June 2019, Siedentopf starred in the music video for " Mine Right Now", a song by Norwegian singer Sigrid. [8] This was due to Sigrid's flight being cancelled, the singer therefore being unable to appear in the video herself. [9] [10] [11]
