“Open: I want it to say, procession. [...]“ (2023) ist ein Wandobjekt aus Leder, das der Künstler mit Polyurethan, Bleichmittel, Mineralen und Farbstiften bearbeitet und teilweise über Monate der Witterung aussetzt, die ebenfalls Spuren auf die Haut zeichnet. Das Leder steht hier als Überbleibsel industrieller Verarbeitungsketten der Schlachtungsindustrie, die den Umgang mit anderen Lebewesen aufzeigen und sich auch auf gesellschaftliche Diskriminierungsmuster und deren komplexe Strukturen übertragen lassen. Der Künstler thematisiert die Unterwerfung, Vernachlässigung und Austauschbarkeit von nicht-menschlichen Akteuren in unserer heutigen Zeit sowie die Kolonialisierung der USA heute. „Open: I want it to say [...]” (2023) is a wall object out of leather, which the artist works on with polyurethane, bleach, minerals and colored pencils, and exposes it to the weather for months which also draws traces on the skin. The leather stands here as a remnant of industrial processing chains of the slaughter industry, revealing the treatment of other living beings, whilst also addressing social patterns of discrimination and their complex structures. The artist addresses the subjugation, neglect, and interchangeability of non-human actors in our modern times, as well as the colonization of the USA today.
