The red Bedouin
The „Red Bedouin“ is a rebellious, defiant, and politically engaged woman—one who defies societal norms. She wears the color of fire, passion, and resistance—a woman caught between tradition and freedom. A proud figure in a red robe, her garment waving in the financial desert like a banner for revolution, change, and social justice.

Dead Trees
The tree is the largest living thing on our earth. Some trees live for thousands of years. Its natural ecosystem ensures clean air, stores and purifies water
and offers living space and shelter for many creatures. A special treasure is its ability to store the waste product CO2. This competence is monetized with CO2 certificates.
The dead tree is a symbol of the plundered treasure.
absolutely unnatural
– the invisible danger
Anything that doesn’t integrate into the natural cycle can be described as „absolutely unnatural.“ Money is subject to a completely different cycle.
Those who focus too heavily on money as the purpose of life can lose themselves in a cycle of consumption and inner emptiness.
Another question is how so-called „forever chemicals,“ long-chain persistent PFAS, behave in the cycle of nature? Are they already exceeding planetary boundaries?
Does their uncontrolled release disrupt the natural balance? Simply said, it could be argued that these substances lack life. The life we know on Earth is bound
to matter and encounters us in a diverse world of living bodies, organisms, or creatures: plants, animals, and humans. Due to reproduction, chains of living creatures, expressed in many different species, run through the history of our planet. Life is passed on in these chains; When the connection between living things is broken, life also disappears; it never arises anew.
Androcentrism - destruction by patriarchal structures
Patriarchates are undemocratic – they are hierarchies controlled by men – women and minorities are oppressed
This cycle shows how patriarchal forms of rule presume to oppress humanity. The artist demonstrates this destruction with her radical art. The phallus as a hegemonic symbol
is intended to point out the responsibility that is ignored. Shredded banknotes show the futility of greed and avarice. The “LINEN RELIEF” technique she uses is new in the visual arts.
By using linen and filling material, the artist creates a three-dimensional work of art on canvas. The liveliness of the objects is initiated by light and shadow on the relief.

The globalization of patriarchal structures, which are based on competition, domination, exploitation and oppression, lead to the ever faster spread of violence, destruction, flight and impoverishment.

Autumn Leaves
Banknotes do not fall from trees in autumn, but they are also subject to a life cycle. Their lifespan can depend on the quality;
damaged ones will be confiscated and replaced with new ones. A currency reform also ends the cycle.
The most significant cash changeover was in 2002, it was the world's largest currency changeover ever.
With this cycle of images, the artist Monika Stahl asks the questions:
Has autumn come for banknotes?
Is a cashless future getting closer?
MoneyEaters
In this cycle which was awarded 2015 on the London Art Biennale Monika Stahl shows multicultural heads of men eating money. Supplementary to it the money is in their head or their senses are dominated exclusively by money. This culture of focussing on the material is found especially by men, they subordinate everything in favour to money, and there is no space for other values or targets. In this way the heads signify allegories for the materialism of the society.

The Wall
The wall that separates us from being
The struggle for money People struggle and cannot get enough. „Subordinate yourself to nature“ is the motto. Dominium terrae – Is this a license for unlimited resource exploitation or a call for a sustainable lifestyle?
Genetic manipulation, monocultures, chemical fertilization, regulation of water flows, acidification of the oceans,
suffocating plastic waste, unrestrained economic growth and unlimited profit maximization are the top maxim.
Overcoming Women can overcome the wall of patriarchs. They are the ones who reproduce life and bear the responsibility.
Equality can restore balance. The fine-tuning of the natural constants must come back into balance.
Money and technology alone cannot save us. Let us wait until hurricanes, floods, earthquakes,
illnesses and other catastrophes bring us to our senses. With the equality of women, neoliberalism can be overcome.
The Escape If our living space is ruined, the question will arise: „Where are we escaping to?“
According to the UNHCR, there are already more than 80 million people who are fleeing war, hunger and natural disasters.
Nature wins This picture shows how nature recaptures her living space. If we humans destroy ourselves, then plants and animals will systematically recapture our urban areas, as we already know from various high cultures. Nature, the universe remains No people are visible here anymore, because they were not able to humble submit to the eternal cycle.animals will systematically recapture our urban areas, as we already know from various high cultures.

Steel is a sign of durability, imperishability, and a symbol of civilization, though eaten up by rust.
