Artists' Statement:

"Was die Einbindung zum Thema Anti-Kunsum betrifft ist natürlich einiger Interpretationsbedarf. Ich halte mich als Künstler jedoch da gerne heraus:

vioelleicht einige Stichworte:

  • Kapitalismukritik, Verkuafsstrategieen
  • wer möchte sich schon seinen sex diktireren lassen (auch wenn das eine angenehme einladung zu scin scheint)
  • Kuturkritik, Departure of EDEN, Westl. erfolgreiche Kultur am point of return: Sexuelle allgemeine Befriedigung
  • Schließlich: gibt es schon eine NO sex Bewegung. Hier ist natürlich mehr information aus den Erfahrungen der Arabischen Ländern zu bekommen.
  • Grundsätzlich gilt aber: die Aussage ist positiv. Der kreative Schritt würde bedeuten, sich davon  (der sexuellen Bevormundung durch die  Konsumindustrie) zu befreien"
