Tea Time

1. Bernhard Willhelm Fall/Winter 2005
2. Meissen porcelain teapot, Bartholomaus Seuter workshop, 1725–1730

More postmodern insanity. Meissen versus Berhnard Willhelm. Classicism versus exotism. The ostentatious, anti-functional porcelain object re-staged with painted human bodies. Decadence.

As long as I don't hear any protest, the promotion of war painted bodies will proceed. I am curious: Who really is tattooed? Whose skin is showing indigenous artworks? Whose back is decorated by a slag tag?

Watering Flowers

A rather romantic adaption of the Duchamps urinal. And a rather entertaining pose. A rather provocative post title as well, I may assume. Put shortly: We like to say it with flowers.

Consequence

Viktor & Rolf Fall/Winter 2001 & Raf Simons Spring/Summer 2004

When the body serves as nothing but a three-dimensional surface and becomes the message itself. When colour absorbes identity. When clothes become art installations of their own.

Painted love. Metallic skin. Phallic pyramid. We belong together.

Zoo Of Boredom

Body painting is the new activity for boring nights with friends. Just build a circle and get naked. Well at least your hands. Who can guess which animal I would be?

P.S.: Alternatively, play shadow theatre.
