FOREST
FOREST
WE HUMANS ARE NATURE. I AM NATURE. THAT IS WHAT YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND AS A HUMAN BEING.
Forest
Feel into another world through the different layers of color.
There is nothing more beautiful than simply walking through the forest and stroking your hands over a blanket of moss. To feel the bark of the tree. To look at the colors of the forest – to reflect this in the pictures is my basic endeavor.
The forest, my place of longing. There, you don't have to justify who you are or what you look like. The forest is free and it does not ask anything in return.
The only thing we humans have to do is to respect the forest. Just as we want to be treated... we should also treat the forests!
NEURONS
NEURONS
THE CHAOS & INSIDE OF MY THOUGHTS VISIBLE TO THE OUTSIDE.
Networking
Connected to infinity.
Just as the forest, nature, is connected to roots, our experiences, our emotions, are connected through neurons within us. Our connections determine who we were, who we are, and who we will be.
At the same time, we are striving for the absolute networking of everything and everyone. The contact, the information, just a fingertip, a few electrical pulses, away. Always available, always online, always connected. Networked with infinity, our cosmos.
THE SILENT SCREAM
The silent scream
THE SCREAM TO SOCIETY THAT COMES OUT OF ME.
Self-portraits
A completely new chapter.
This outwardly loud, this ‘F*CK YOU’, this double middle finger and on the other hand, however, that no sound comes across. A silent scream. And I think that’s often a better way than yelling at other people.
A powerful cry against intolerance
This series is to hold up a mirror to society.
It is directed against all those who have prejudices against other people because someone is different.
In my pictures I accuse, but without elevating myself above anyone.
Self-ironic stylization
Clown, baboon, orangutan
Even the titles of my works make it clear: I stylize myself self-deprecatingly as a “clown”, a “baboon” or an “orangutan”.
We are also only beings from the order of primates who, like the protagonist in Munch’s “The Scream,” react with silent horror and a soundless cry to what society, in part considerably alienated from any humanity, expects of him.
Destruction of individuality
Prejudice, pigeonholing, bullying
Prejudice, pigeonholing, bullying – for me, all of these ultimately lead to the destruction of individuality, self-determination and everything that makes us human.
