The idea behind this series was to take the branding strategy of clothing companies—where their own logo becomes a core part of their product identity—and subvert it by altering the logos in a way that undermines this very approach. I started by taking logos from fast fashion brands and modifying them to read „Boycott“. From there, I expanded the concept to include corporations I considered worthy of boycotting.

When deciding what kind of clothing to use for this anti-merchandise series, the first iteration was made using second-hand clothes from the giveaway corner at our art academy. For the second iteration, I took the idea a step further: I shoplifted the garments from the very stores whose logos I had altered and printed onto them. In this version, I also left small installations in the fitting rooms—featuring discarded security tags, statements drawn from the fashion industry’s profit-driven “philosophy,” and images depicting the conditions under which these clothes were produced.

This series was an initial experiment in dealing with obsolete monuments. I imagined accelerating their decay—letting time and nature do what should have already happened. As part of this work, I visited Frankfurt’s Main Cemetery, where there is a designated area for victims of World War II. I collected seeds from plants growing around the graves or from trees whose seeds had fallen onto them. Then, I traveled over 300 kilometers to a small town where a monument still stands in literal honor of the Nazi military. I mixed the seeds with soil and filled the cracks and crevices of the monument with this seed-infused earth. I carried out similar interventions on multiple monuments. When I returned to one of them months later, small plants had begun sprouting from its cracks. Editing note: Today I think a large hammer is just the better option.

The extremist right german political party AfD once went with the slogan "Not a cent for politically motivated art". In response to this I stole their posters during campaign and sold them on ebay with scenes of destroyed germany after world war II painted over. This was my way of saying that we - as artists - will find a way. Due to procrastination and other problems only two of these actually exist (In private collection). So - sorry if you read this and I still owe you and artwork.

A stack of pizza boxes, equivalent in value to a professor‘s salary: hollow inside – displaying images of insects that perished in candles and tealights after a party. Kindergarten group photos, distorted beyond recognition through repetitive aging filters applied by AI, contrasted with medium-format photographs of workspaces from a first-person perspective. A treadmill running at full speed, showing an animation created with stencil graffiti and flashlight. These and similar works formed the stations of this spatial installation, which represented a cross section through this first draft of the work, which I showed in february 2024 as my diploma / graduate show.
