Qatar 2022

For 10 years, the infrastructures of the Football World Cup are being built in Qatar. For 10 years, a silent massacre is happening there: the massacre of Indian, Pakistani, Nepalese, Bengali, Sri Lankan workers, reduced to near slavery conditions. At least 6500 workers died on those building sites according to The Guardian.

42 years ago, the French graphic designer, Alain Le Quernec, created a poster to alert people about the World Cup in Argentina where Videla’s bloody dictatorship raged. In reference to this previous « shame cup » and as a tribute to Alain, I have revisited his graphic idea today to denounce this new mass grave on which a party will be hosted, with the complicity of FIFA and our governments.

Simplemindedness is for the butt

The German word “Einfalt” (Simplemindedness), which denotes a certain narrowness of mind is made up composed of the word “ein” and the word “falt”.
So far “Einfalt” – following the word origin – is just something that applies to the human behind.

Iran

45 years ago, a bitter revolution unfolded in Iran, leading to the rise of religious radicals who seized control of the government. As a result, the country’s name was changed from Iran to the Islamic Republic of Iran. Throughout all these years, they have consistently stood against the will of the Iranian people, relentlessly propagating their ideology and ruling the country with a brutal dictatorship.

Violence returns

Violence generates violence, how do we stop this circulation of aggression? A man beats his wife, the son is watching, the boy grows up and now he is beating his own wife, his child is watching…the circle will repeat. We need to stop this creation of violence. It circulates shamelessly in every part of our lives. It is everywhere: in our home, school, university, workplace, on the streets, in media, movies and we cannot find a perfect solution to reduce violent crime – because the solution doesn‘t exist.

Ghosts of Bankok

Bangkok is a city of animism where supernatural beings dwell in both natural and constructed objects. Tales of ghosts and superstitions are parts of our everyday life. There are two types of land spirits whose a majority of Thais believes in; Deity of the Land and Lord of the Place.

The blue ghosts seen in the poster represent the spirits in everyday sights throughout the city, the noble landlords who possess acres after acres of land. We, as Bangkok’s ordinary people, can do nothing apart from watching them and paying for taxes and rents to them for the rest of our lives.

Peace?

The background why I created it: The most of people in the world long for a peaceful and happy life without guns and blood. But to be the different Union there are different conflicts of interest, in this situation, some super nations arbitrary interfere others. For example the Iraq War 2007 and today’s Syrian War.

The Emptiness sickens me

Residential and commercial space has become a rare and expensive thing in cities. To achieve sustainable urban development one must properly handle resources, and this includes existing buildings. This is not a rational or social issue per say, but more a question of creating a space for fresh impulses. With the right amount of commitment, dedication and active involvement, we can create attractive new forms of utilization.

We must raise awareness of vacancy within the population of our cities, and this poster is designed to just that. The main message is aimed to make the issue up close and personal, by addressing us directly. The poster mourns the state of affairs, pressing us to change something about it.

War pays

Bombs fall, people flee, cities crumble – war is pure catastrophe. For millions, it means pain, loss and fear. But not for everyone. There are those who profit from suffering: Shareholders whose investments in arms companies bring maximum profits. Heads of state who secure raw materials and power under the guise of peace. Banks that increase their profits with loans for arms deals. As long as there is money to be made from war, why should there be peace?
