“EWG 1677/88”

digital-print, A0, 2017

The straightened domesticated cucumber as a symbol of economic and social aspirations for normalized conditions.

Regulation (No 1677/88 / EEC) was adopted in 1988. The European Commission suspended the 2009 regulation. In wholesale and retail, however, it is still practiced. Accordingly, cucumbers of the Extra and Class 1 were allowed to have a maximum curvature of ten millimeters by ten centimeters, and a maximum of twenty millimeters was permitted for Class 2. The cucumber of the extra class should be "practically straight", that of the commercial class 1 "pretty well shaped".

The cucumber as a sculptural object created by domestication. Without the cultivation of nature, it would not have been possible for man to become sedentary 10,000 years ago. In the cultivation of food, man found the security he needed to settle down.

“The work of fddoh, designed as a red flag, certainly belongs to the most difficult to interpret works of the project. You have to know a little about what the artist has been thinking about in order to follow the work „Mittwoch“. In the foreground is the medium of the flag, which actually has its place in secular places and buildings. Flags are primarily political messages, identity and affiliation, orientation and labeling. The fiery red thus gives the empty niche something of the waning dynamism of the political and revolutionary, which is also anchored in the history of Christianity, especially in the Reformation period and its effects, which are still effective today. The inscription “Mittwoch” (“Wednesday”), which appears at first completely utterly remote and arbitrary, explains the artist on the basis of the cultural development lines: Like all the days of the week, Wednesday was named after an ancient deity, Mercury, the god of commerce and communication, and for centuries has been of a deeper cultic and symbolic importance for mankind. The flag and inscription are not as profane as they are initially thought. In them, a very religious heritage is buried, wich - when it is unveiled and flutters in the familiar place - crosses through and questions Superficial conceptual patterns and visual habits. With a humorous wink, the sculpture places the confidant and the supposed stranger alike at the disposition. What is sacred to us according to which we live, what we orientate, what we gather together, and what we believe in; all this is often much more ambiguous and confused than we think and deeply interwoven in the shallows of our cultural origins. Thinking about himself and his own roots is the appeal that the artist ignites here with subtle remedies”.

SOTR_OOO,

SLEEPING_ON_THE_ROOFTOP , digital-print, 80*125cm, 2017

In the performance series "sleeping on the rooftop", I try to question my own expectation and the associated habits in the context of urban living space. The elimination of prefabricated conventional routes such as roads and sidewalks makes the attempt to take the allegedly most direct route across houses, roofs, residential blocks and construction sites. Based on the so called „Parkour" created in the 1980s in France. The naming sleeping on roofs is the central element of the performances. It calls for a nomadic, temporary attitude that stands in contrast to the domesticated way of life in the supposedly dynamic urban space. Naive infantile attempt at conventional liberation or a consistent emancipation of the petty_bourgeois attitude resulting from urban life, which downright, through all social strata, takes on reactionary features?

TRANS_SPECIES / 150*150cm / digital graphic series / digital-print

2016 ongoing

“I love fools’ experiments. I am always making them”. Charles Darwin/Quote

Trans-species psychology is the field of psychology that states that humans and nonhuman animals share commonalities in cognition (thinking) and emotions (feelings). It was established by Gay A. Bradshaw, American ecologist and psychologist.[1]

Trans-species psychology, often referred to as a “science of sentience,” argues that existing scientific evidence points to a common model of brain, mind, and behavior for humans and nonhuman animals.[1] Bradshaw claims the theory and data from neuroscience, ethology, and psychology, both current and dating back through the evolutionary biology research of Charles Darwin in the mid-1800s, shows that evolution conserves brain and mind across species.[2][3] Humans and other animals share a common capacity to think, feel, and experience themselves and their lives. Some animals have demonstrated the ability to experience empathy, culture, self-awareness, consciousness, psychological trauma, mourning rituals, and complex communication abilities.[4][5][6][7][8]

The knowledge that nonhuman animals have the ability to think and feel in complex ways has also brought the understanding of their capacity to experience psychological trauma and suffering. Trans-species psychology seeks to prevent and treat trauma in all animals through increased scientific understanding.[1]

The prefix trans is a Latin noun meaning “across” or “beyond”, and it is used to describe the comparability of brain, mind, and behavior across animal species. In an interview, G.A. Bradshaw stated that the trans affixed to psychology “re-embeds humans within the larger matrix of the animal kingdom by erasing the ‘and’ between humans and animals that has been used to demarcate and reinforce the false notion that humans are substantively different cognitively and emotionally from other species.” Animal Visions Interview with Gay Bradshaw, 2010.[9]

“Mittwoch” eng. Wednesday explores the architectural-sculptural aspects of the church building in connection with art and examines the extent to which church history in its controversy can be a model or a stimulus for current social crises. I am interested in the question of the extent to which an allegedly “profane” day of the week, because of its historical origin, allows us to question the current perspectives.

The concept of revolution, which is the abrupt structural change usually brought about by force, is opposed to that of the Reformation. We are surrounded by historical knowledge, which is apparently no longer accessible, almost forgotten, and still determines our everyday life. A daily example in our globalized world is the seven-day week. The definition of a seven-day rhythm as well as the naming of the individual days can be traced back to the Babylonian week, which in turn builds on knowledge of the Sumerians.

The days of the week were named after the visible stars of the geocentric worldscape (sun, moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn) and worshiped at the time of naming as gods themselves. These names as well as the divine faith were adopted by the Greeks and Romans. In the fourth century, the Germans also took over this system and replaced the Roman divine names with their own. In the course of Christianization, attempts were made at a later date to repress these pagan names, but this was achieved only in the German-speaking world on Wednesday (ger. Mittwoch) and Saturday (ger. Samstag). Wednesday, the day of Mercury (latin Mercury, french mercredi, italian mercoledì, spanish miércoles), which was equated with the Germanic god Wodan (Odin). Wednesday (nl. Woensdag), with the German Mittwoch returning to the Roman Catholic influence.

The flag is a symbol of community in the traditional sense. As a tribal or token, flags have been known in the Orient since ancient antiquity. There they serve as a point of reference for soldiers and troops in battle. Today, the flag is a distinctive identifyer that is particularly relevant to nations. In a time of growing nationalism and fanaticism throughout the world, national as well as religious symbols are very popular. Abuse of power in the form of a rejection of different wisdom and thinking was and is a feature of religious, political, national or social associations and ultimately serves the purpose of consolidation. Perhaps this is also anchored in social homophilia (“Birds of a feather flock together.), wich is a human trait. This trait looks at a rapidly developing society and the accompanying globalization. The media is not the only source to observe that communities show unity under leadership of a flag.

The principle of subsidiarity, inspired by the Reformation, offers the means of mediating between small groups, from families to clubs to large communities (such as the European Union). This principle fails when the ideology of a community is understood as doctrine. The view of black and white, which often arises during holistic explanatory experiments seems to be rooted within us and is brought into focus through the absurdity of indwelling in the Mittwoch flag.

Reformers such as Zwingli and Calvin rejected the images as idolatry, citing on the Ten Commandments. Their interpretation of the second commandment essentially describes the unavailability of God. They feared that the images would replace God. One could understand the use of the flag in a transcendental sense as “idol worship,” it symbolizes the multitude of secular things which are supposed to serve as faith mediators, but which, under the Reformation, thwart the opening to true faith. Here one can look at the history of art, be closely interwoven with biblical narratives and church construction, a connection that has almost completely been replaced by the art market in contemporary art.
