I can´t see you anymore

Cities all over the world are becoming more and more invisible. They become invisible because of the smog we create to reach ever higher goals. But the smog destroys the basis of living and everything gets ugly and we grow ill – until we can’t see each other anymore.

The Thawing

Our ice melts as fast as never before, mainly triggered by our massive Co2 output. Global warming has some serious consequences, such as the rapid melting of glaciers.

If we do not start to act environmentally conscious soon, our postponed problems will become existential fears in the future.

A plastic home

Despite efforts to reduce plastics in households, the damage is already done, and the oceans are witnessing it. We must act soon and help our only home, the Earth.

Zeitgeist

The “Zeitgeist” poster was created in response to the news headlines from several online newspapers one day in October 2017. When scrolling through news portal sites, the discrepancy between positive and negative, important and unimportant news is incredibly large. On some days, this rapid change of moods causes discomfort. On other days, it triggers a state of indifference.

Ego

Rugged individualism is a common disease of our time. It is bound with selfishness and has many negative consequences at all levels. Excessive self-adoration leads to ignoring each other; each individual sees its own interests without consideration of the common good, while we live in a world, in which we are increasingly interdependent on each other.
To illustrate this idea, I chose to use an iconic image of pure beauty and transformed it thoroughly in order to create something monstrous. The belly button – is the center of the individual and moving it to the center of the Venuses face expresses this imbalance called “belly button gazing”.

Fadeout

According to Wikipedia, there are more than 30 ongoing military conflicts all over the world – excluding riots like the current ones in Turkey. Most of the conflicts are still faded out from public attention, even though social media puts us into the position of observers and confidants.

Form Follows Function

People are reduced to superficialities, which have nothing to do with the natural course of events. The (western) beauty ideal detaches itself from the original function of the human organism. This example refers to men, but the principle obviously counts for women too.

October 7, 2023: Another chapter in decades of genocide.
In 1947, the United Nations proposed the partition of Palestine into two states: one Arab, one Jewish. According to the plan, 44% of the land was to go to 1.3 million Palestinians, while 600,000 Jews would receive 55%. This would have made Palestinians a minority in their own homeland. The two states were to be economically connected, but the Arab state and Palestinian leadership rejected the plan. It was never implemented.
Israel was founded, and war broke out. To this day, Palestinians are being displaced from their towns and villages.

No Borders

The EU includes some of the wealthiest countries in the world and possesses abundant resources, knowledge, and prosperity. We consider ourselves democratic societies that uphold values such as human dignity, freedom, and equality. It is therefore our responsibility to devise improved solutions instead of resorting to aggressive push-backs at Europe’s external borders or mass accommodation in camps with inhumane living conditions. The right to live in a safe country should not be viewed as a privilege but as a fundamental human right.

Happiness

In a world of self-isolation and loneliness, it’s easy to fall under the impression that the only excitement and happiness you get is from the courier carrying you a package full of things you don’t really need.

East/West

The poster East/West was created with current events in the East in mind. I can confidently say: “Nothing changes in the East.” The central idea was to show two directions—an arrow pointing west and another east—as a kind of warning. The rocket symbolizes ongoing conflict on many fronts: racial, ethnic, and religious. Stop war!

Adrift between hope and despair

This poster addresses a tragic and urgent issue: migration. It is dedicated to those who risk everything—crossing the sea in overcrowded inflatable rafts in search of a better life. A journey filled with hope and despair, often ending in death. I used colorful buoys as symbols of joy and hope—but they deceive: overloaded, damaged, unfit for the journey. The black dots represent countless lives lost at sea. This work is for them.

Radikal und schnell

People speak, write and shout but nothing changes. We speak the same language but don’t understand each other. The hamster wheel is turning faster and faster, the engines roar louder and louder, drowning out the helplessness of some and frightening others. Anger is the engine of change. Have courage to change!

Same Old Story

The idea of the poster came out recently when the Native American tribe Sioux were protesting against the installation of an oil pipeline in their reservation Standing Rock in North Dakota. This protest became widely known, especially because of the violence the U.S. Government used with riot police and the army. This is only the origin of the idea, but the main thing is that times change (from the old times of the Conquest of the West to nowadays, from the “romantic” cowboy to the non-romantic at all riot police), but the oppression is always there, and it’s used always by the same oppressor. And we could extend this idea to every era, situation or geographic place.

If it bleeds, it leads

Action und Panik haben sich im Nachrichtengeschäft schon immer am besten verkauft, ganz nach dem Motto “If it bleeds, it leads”. Was mich enorm stört, ist dabei jedoch die immer aktivere Rolle der Nachrichtensender, die sich längst nicht mehr auf die reine Berichterstattung beschränken. Statt nur zu beobachten, betätigen sie oftmals sozusagen selbst den Abzug – ohne Rücksicht auf Verluste.
