The series is about “archeological finds” which seem to be the remains of our society in the future.
Plastic food containers might, if they don’t dissolve in the oceans or otherwise, appear as fossils one day.

A political allegory on a conservative party which chose to move far right to gain more votes.
After winning two elections in Austria, their messiah-like leader had to step down because of his involvement in corruption scandals which slowly started to surface in an investigation committee.

a photographic work that was realized in public space and shows a man in a suit
kneeling in front of an ATM. The title already suggests the content of the work,
which can also be read differently. In the classic role model, the man was the breadwinner
of the family, but this is currently less and less the case due to changed gender relations,
neoliberalism, stagnating or falling wages, exploitative wage conditions, etc.
While women have long been in the workforce, more and more men are finding it difficult
to find a role for themselves and sufficient pay to support themselves or their families.
Quite a few also have problems finding their place in life.

Für diese Serie wurden bereits bestehende Fotografien aus meiner Serie Future of the Past mit Begriffen kom-
biniert, die die Utopie der Moderne konterkarieren. Dies als Hinweis darauf, dass architektonische Formen
allein keine Utopie ausmachen, bzw. die Moderne, in der sich die Politik noch um gesellschaftlichen Ausgleich
bemühte, der Vergangenheit angehört.
лестници – Treppen
сковорода – Pfanne
булавка – Stecknadel
холодилник – Kühlschrank
строительные куьики – Bauklötze
Photo series since 1996, on Alu-Dibond, varying size, often 100 x 70 or 70 x 100 cm
The photographic series Future of the past is concerned with utopian-like buildings and ruins from the socialist past in ex-
communist countries. An end-of-time mood hovers over these images, the subjects of which seem to come from science-
fiction films. The photographs depict towers, housing and office blocks and closed down factories, buildings which earlier
seem to have embodied some belief in future prospects, be they social or economic. In their present, derelict state they appear to embody the utter failure of a social and political utopia.
