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.
