Massengrab

The mass grave

The inhuman greed for power and possessions sacrifices our sons and only brings destruction. In contrast to the previous white collages, which live from the play of light and the color contrast of the banknotes, this picture has to be deep black. Black absorbs the light in the different facets of the relief structure, just as greed and suffering devour life. The shiny male privates stand out and flash out of the grave. Money is not used in this work because there are no possessions after death. The viewer is faced with the question of what honor, fame and wealth mean when a person loses everything with death and disappears into transience. Where is the meaning buried when father state sacrifices his children to claims to power. For millennia, mothers have been expected to gift soldiers to rulers. human material. Young men, beloved sons, end up annihilated in Mother Earth’s womb – as shown here – in the mass grave.
