MUT ZUR WUT
Entstanden als Eingang zum MUT ZUR WUT Wettbewerb 2021.
"Mut zur Wut macht einmal im Jahr den öffentlichen Raum ganz bewusst zum Schauplatz des visuellen Widerstandes. Eine Nische der Freiheit im ansonsten komplett überwachten und lückenlos kontrollierten urbanen Areal. Die Ausstellung der prämierten Plakate macht die Straße zur Bühne, zu einer gigantischen Galerie. Eine Art inhaltliche Rückeroberung der Städte, die ansonsten mit ihren schönsten und prominentesten Orten zu simplen Werbeträgern zu verkommen drohen.
Die Themenwahl für das Motiv ist frei. Gemäß dem Titel „Mut zur Wut“ sollte das Thema einen kritischen, sozialen, politischen und/oder persönlichen Inhalt haben, der in einem aussagekräftigen Motiv dargestellt ist."
Man enough? Eine rhetorische Frage und Antwort. Trotz Diskriminierung sein Leben ehrlich leben? I am.
Created as a competition entrance to MUT ZUR WUT 2021.
'Once a year “Mut zur Wut” transforms the public space to a scene of visual resistance. A niche of freedom in otherwise completely monitored and continuously controlled urban areas. The exhibition of the winning posters transforms the streets into a stage for art – an enormous public gallery, in which you are forced to see, think, get mentally and emotionally involved. The presentation of the posters in public space is a reconquest of urban space, that is threaten to degenerate into a dull and exchangeable advertising platform.

The winning posters will be put on busy roads and high-traffic locations in several waves. Thousands of views and contacts with pedestrians, cars, busses are the result of this prominent placement. The daily encounter with the posters leads to the often profound and sometimes not at first glance perceptible messages, which provoke an intense engagement with the contents.'
Man enough? A rhetorical question and answer. Living your life honestly despite discrimination? I am.
