Androcentrism - destruction by patriarchal structures
This cycle shows how patriarchal forms of rule presume to oppress humanity.
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.
The destructive violence of patriarchal systems of rule has escalated to threaten the entire world in a global apocalyptic scenario where the collapse of civilization and the very existence of humanity are at stake. Let’s look at the hopeless and depressing perspectives for women and children in authoritarian regimes ruled by men, in conflict and war regions. Especially monotheistic religions are misused to suppress human rights and women.The artist demonstrates this destruction with her radical art. The phallus as a hegemonic symbol is intended to indicate responsibility that is being ignored. Shredded banknotes show the futility of greed and greed. The „LINEN RELIEF“ technique she uses is new in fine art. Through the use of linen and padding, 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.

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 Many people recognize the wrongdoing and demand that natural laws be respected. If the balance,
the fine-tuning of the natural constants is out of balance, money cannot save us. Let us not wait until hurricanes,
floods, earthquakes, diseases and other catastrophes bring us to our senses. Let’s not create more threats,
such as nuclear power plants, large industries, that cause non-recyclable pollution.
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.

The heads out of money are a sign of double standards.
The star was created in 2011 and unfortunately remains very up to date. The united Europe is once again facing a crucial test. Populist forces are trying with all their might to destroy unity.

NYC
In this early cycle Monika Stahl uses banknotes to colourful collages. In this way the money looses cruelly the value, she shows that it is only printed – partially cut – simple paper and consequently valueless. The graphic setting shows the light in the New York City skyline as a symbol – because the cycle has been created there. It seems as a promise – however, the optimism is false. Every order is subordinated under the money regime. There is no space for emotions; the works seem to be cold. The banknotes attract the interest of the spectator as a focus. In the works there are no urges or morality, the reality of the world touches because of the political dissection. Money dominates the world of which no escape is possible.
