  • Even though we produce enough food to feed the entire world, there are still close to 1 billion people starving worldwide. Huge quantities of edible food are thrown away. In Germany, for example, which is often regarded as the forerunner of recycling and waste handling, 82 kg of edible food are disposed per person per year. Globally, it is estimated that 1.3 billion tons of food get wasted each year. Overproduction and food waste is not only a problem because of filling up landfills but the energy wasted to produce, transport and finally dispose of these foods. This motive is also available as limited edition screen print.

  • Water is essential for humans and yet it is the perfect tool to distinguish between the poor and the rich. While it is so cheap that you can bath in it in the Western world, people in the poorest parts of the world spend the majority of their income for its supply. The absence of clean drinking water leads to social differences and conflicts. This motive is also available as a limited edition screen print.

  • During the COP21 World Climate conference 600 advertisement booths were hacked by the Brandalism campaign. For that I was invited to to create two pieces of work, Paradise, which is available as a print and Corporate Bubbles. Both motives were hung in the center of Paris and formed part of the protest. 'Corporate Bubbles' deals with the subject of green-washing and was created when the Volkswagen emission scandal broke. At that time I had my studio very close to Wolfsburg, where the Volkswagen factory is. For this I used newspaper clippings from the region, dealing with VW and its board of directors as a background. The stencil was then sprayed on and details finished using acrylic paint. A limited edition screen print of this motive can be found here. Details:
    •  hand cut stencil, aerosol, newspaper clippings, glue on canvas
    •  Size Version: 90 x 55 cm
    •  signed (with date) and certificate
    •  will be shipped flat
  • This piece is criticizing the trading of CO2 certificates which allows companies to "compensate" their emissions by buying certificates. In turn they declare their products or services as "carbon-neutral" and even charging more. This won’t be working as the only thing being compensated is their conscience. Instead emissions need to be reduced!

    The artist bought several climate certificates which can be seen in the background. Figuratively, these are transferred to the buyer of the art work. The slogan in the back translates to "a clean conscience is a comfortable pillow to rest on".

  • Climate Carousel – Original

    4.700,00 inc. VAT

    It is an ironic take on the “task force” created by the German government to tackle the challenges of the climate emergency. The writing on top of the carousel reads: “erlauben” (to allow), “ermöglichen” (to make possible) and “erleichtern” (to facilitate), which resembles the idleness of politicians towards regulating the economy – in this case the 5 biggest producers of CO2 in Germany (Lufthansa, RWE, BASF, Heidelberg Cement and VW). This motive is also available as limited edition screen print.

  • Travel Fever shows a traveller ready to go on an adventure. He has been vaccinated which he proudly demonstrates and does not understand what the fuss is about. The yellow shirt and the flags on the suitcase are a giveaway that this picture is not about the individual freedom of travelling. Yellow is the colour of the vaccination passport and the countries represent those of corona hotspots and/or places where no one has been vaccinated yet (March2021 when the motive was first pasted on the streets). Thus, the motive is about the inequality of vaccine distribution and a virus happy to travel. It was featured by Gavi the vaccine alliance here.
