Cage

In many Islamic countries women rights are suppressed, there are too many rules and they have to dress in overall burkas that look like restraining cages, exposing only eyes that resemble a small prison window revealing a trace of light. This appeal is intended to loosen the restrictions on women.

Pay me like one of your Cis-dudes

This poster presents a feminist demand engraved into a stone tablet — borrowing the visual language of monuments to give weight to the ongoing protest against the gender pay gap, which still stands at 16%. Maybe we really do need to carve our demands into stone in order to be heard.
Truly etched in stone is the custom-designed display typeface Friedländer—inspired by an early sketch by Elisabeth Friedländer, one of Germany’s first female type designers.

Fair play – FUCK OFF

Die Idee für mein Plakat entstand während der Präsidentschaftskandidatur Sepp Blatters für eine vierte Amtszeit als FIFA-Präsident.

Die FIFA stellt sich gerne als völkerverbindender, die Kulturen einender, Global Player dar. Was hinter verschlossenen Türen geschieht, hat allerdings nichts mit einem weltoffenen Unternehmen zu tun. Skurrile Entscheidungen werden von einem erlesenen Kreis von Funktionären getroffen: Die WM-Vergabe an Katar oder der Bau riesiger Stadien ohne nachhaltigen Nutzen für die Bevölkerung Südafrikas sind Beispiele dafür. Hier scheint es nur um das schnelle Geschäft und um maximalen Profit zu gehen. Die Korruptionsvorwürfe wollen nicht verstummen. Doch Kritik wird nicht geduldet, das System um jeden Preis erhalten.

Die Idee des globalen FAIR PLAY wird zum leeren Marketingversprechen. FUCK OFF ist meine Antwort darauf. Sie steht gleichzeitig für die Haltung der FIFA ihrem eigenem Claim gegenüber: Blatter hat ihn zu einer zynischen Worthülse degradiert.

Every museum, everywhere, all the time.

If one visits an art exhibition in 2023, one gets the impression that the majority of visitors spend their time creating a reproduction of the work with their smartphone or camera.
According to a study, visitors spend an average of 27 seconds in front of a work of art. But seeing a work of art, understanding, reflecting on it, and appreciating all the sensory perceptions that only the immediate experience can provide takes time.

Take your Time.
It’s worth it.

These Times of Feeble Minds

Raging bulls foam for red rags, and red rags require expert guidance. The cattle longs to be driven.

An overcrowded and digitally leveled humanity is in dear need for a sense of significance. Who whines is fed hot air through a thick teat, which should be be enough to fill them up.

What do we need?

What we need is the Statue of Liberty or the same God like Chairman Mao! What do we really need: Freedom? Democracy? Or a common culture of the world? I combined the Chinese and Western symbols to express the embarrassment of a reality show that brings all the confusion of the cultural differences.

Swarm of Drones

In a not too distant future everybody might be a drone’s target. With countless cameras and even weapons on board a drone might be worse than any insect you´ve ever felt disturbed by.
Once they decide to attack you it will most likely be too late for a court hearing. So watch out for this dangerous man-made species as there won’t be much we can do once they´ve grown.

Ai WeiWhy

Ai Weiwei ist nicht nur ein kritischer Künstler, sondern in erster Linie ein Mensch. Wie kann es sein, dass ein Mensch ohne Anklage von einem Tag auf den Anderen von seiner Regierung verhaftet bzw. entführt wird? Warum erfahren wir nichts über seinen Aufenthaltsort? Warum werden fadenscheinige Gründe für seine Verhaftung angeführt? Mit meiner Arbeit möchte ich auf Willkür und Zensur gegenüber kritischen Menschen in China aufmerksam machen.

Shut the fuck up!

The vulgar face and ways of Donald Trump are so ugly to watch and experience, there must be some way to make him shut up. His politics and attitude are brainless and empty.
He is a puppet of big industry. The only face that might look as hollow as Trump is the face of a rubber-sex-doll.

Helvetia

The Swiss popular initiative “Against mass immigration”, launched by the national conservative swiss peoples party, was accepted by a majority of the electorate (50,3%). It aims to limit immigration through quotas. This not only causes a loss of image, but threatens the bilateral treaties between the European Union and Switzerland. It’s a shame.

An unfair advantage

This poster highlights the privilege and advantage some people are born with. Dice are the ultimate symbol of chance—once thrown, no one can control the outcome, and it seems like everyone has equal odds. But in reality, some people play with better odds than others—without merit, effort, or achievement.

Eat the filthy rich

As the gap between rich and poor keeps growing, the wealthiest percentage of the global population gains more and more influence and power. This imbalance plays out not only in financial terms but across all aspects of social life.
In response to these injustices—especially in times when figures like Donald Trump are considered “the most powerful man in the world”—more and more people are taking to the streets. One slogan of this resistance: Eat the [Filthy] Rich—a call to action against excessive wealth and capitalism that dates back to the French Revolution.

An open Switzerland, please!

Switzerland should open their boarders for refugees. In small letter „s.v.p.“ means in French „s’il-vous-plaît“, in English „please“. But in capitol letters, SVP stays for the Swiss right wing party SVP (Swiss Popular Party), who is against all immigration of refugees.

The Light

Light, symbolizing life, happiness, hope, justice and sacredness, conveys the most glorious and spectacular impression to mankind. While it has a guiding role, it can also cause the instinctive excitement and joy of all things of life. But we are at home with mobile phones in our hands, so where is the hope of mankind now? Where does this light lead us? Maybe in the next generation.

Guns don´t kill people, hoodies do

The case of Trayvon Martin, a 17 year old black teenager recently killed in Florida by George Zimmerman (an armed neighborhood watch captain) and the related comments about the dress codes of an especially black and Latin American youth illustrates how the Conservative mind in the U.S.A. works. Guns can never be the problem, so something else must be the problem.
