Rüdiger (based on a true story)
2023; instagram-manipulated photograph, silver pen, grave, flowers
This is the grave of Rüdiger. I buried his imaginary body for the group show 'Von Pionierpflanzen und Flâneusen', developed by Julia Kiehlmann. The exhibition surrounded the topic of abandoned and therefore vacant areas within the Eastside of Leipzig, highlighting the socio-political, ecological and also emotional meaning of these urban wastelands for their human visitors. I placed the grave on a nice spot next to a little bush, on a wide so-called 'Brache' underneath a car traffic bridge and besides train tracks. A perfect place to bury your beloved animal friend.
Rüdiger was an experienced tomcat living on a graveyard in Leipzig West. One of his eyes was dead and his fur was always a little filthy. He looked a little grumpy but he was actually a very friendly fella who also enjoyed some company, since he used to sit directly at the gate of the boneyard, where all the people would enter. Shortly after the first socially traumatizing lock-down, due to the pandemic, in 2020, he suddenly disappeared without a trace. His body was never found and people believe that some lonely soul kidnapped him as a companion. I kind of identified with that cat, ever since i first met him when i was doing a sculpture on that graveyard. One day, for no special reason - more as a little joke - I placed my own face on his picture with that simple spot camera in the instagram story tools (unfortunately the zuckerberg deactivated that nice tool a few years ago). This cute picture of Rüdiger (including my own hand in it, petting him) finally turned into a funny kind of ego-cam mirror self portrait. And I had turned into the Cheshire Cat version of Rüdiger. Needless to say, it somehow felt like burying myself in that lovely little grave under the bridge.
fare well, Rüdiger

Bauernproteste: EU-Kommission schreddert Umweltstandards in der Landwirtschaft
Beitrag von Sebastian Lakner & Norbert Röder
Landwirt:innen protestieren in ganz Europa, und inzwischen hat die praktische Agrarpolitik auf die Proteste reagiert. Die Reaktion der EU-Kommission besteht darin, die Umweltstandards, die jeder Empfänger von Direktzahlungen (= Subventionen) einhalten muss, deutlich abzusenken und damit ihrer Wirkung zu berauben. Insgesamt beobachten wir spätestens…

I just had a realization…
Branch and Prince D probably bonded and became buds over their shared experience of being the odd one out in their tribes. Branch being the gray troll who didn’t sing and just overall acts much different than the other Pop Trolls, and Darrell (that is his name lol) who, according to his bio, experimented with the Funk Trolls music out of rebellion and dubbed himself a Hip-Hop Troll.
The difference being that the Funk Trolls don’t seem to mind at all that Prince D is Hip-Hop, King Quincy even letting him rap the “History of Funk” in TWT, whereas Branch was treated as an outcast amongst his tribe and his lifestyle was something that “ruined” the fun of the other Pop Trolls.
I imagine after the Rock-Apocalypse, Prince D was just like, “Yo, Branch, right? Y’know, you got a different vibe than the other Pop Trolls. Ya got’cha own melody you sing to, I like that.”
And then Branch is just like, “Um, thanks. I… uhh, I like your hip-hop.” (Bc he’s awkward XD)
And they’ve been bros ever since anshxgsvbz

Perhaps the biggest tragedy of our lives is that freedom is possible, yet we can pass our years trapped in the same old patterns...We may want to love other people without holding back, to feel authentic, to breathe in the beauty around us, to dance and sing. Yet each day we listen to inner voices that keep our life small.
