just little money involved

Describe your idea and concept of your work in relation to the festival outlines:

Inspired by the passion of organic farmers I’ve met in the USA, this work is a confession to beauty, detail, patience and motivation in farming and art, far from any desire for getting rich. Repetition, love for detail and handmade uniqueness is defining the poesis and poetics for this piece. This persepctive is my statement against the centralising and control of food production through big companies. Food should not be a tool for geopolitical dominance. As the "plants" are directly connected to money as material in this work, I decide for creating the "plant" and decide against money through cutting the bills: so I try to make my statement for food democracy.

How the installation looks like: A field of “small plants” growing out of dollar bills (cut outs) is placed in the middle of a room. Some air is blowing from hidden spots over the field and is moving the small plants like the wind is moving the wheat in a field.

What kind of communication approach do you use?

There is a subtle communication through the aesthetics of the artwork itself. The poetics of money transformed to some plants shows the silent revolution of small organic farms against the big food business.

What are in your opinion concrete benefits to the society because of your communication?

Visibility for small organic farms. A statement against big food business.

What did you personally learn from creating your submitted work?

I learned to look closer to small things and details as well about patience and the act of repetition, all of this is a way of dealing with our nature carefully and respecting ressources.

Why is your work, GOOD communication WORK?

Art allows a way of communication within a field of aesthetics. The aim to attract people is the option to involve the viewer to a topic.

Where and how do you intent do implement your work?

I would like to show this work for a bigger audience maybe together with some Photodocumentation about the organic farm and ...for a contrast... some other artists who might have documentated some big food companies.
