Franziska Kramer & Timo Schulz / Faschist oder Fetischist?

• 60 x 50 cm
• Collage, Painting, Comic
  

The starting point of the collage is the current cover of DER SPIEGEL: It shows Ulrich Siegmund, AfD top candidate for the state election in Saxony-Anhalt, under the headline "The most dangerous man in Germany".

For the Folsom Art Award, this political cover image becomes a persiflage. DER SPIEGEL becomes DAS SCHWEIN (THE PIG), and a fetishized male body takes the place of the politician.

The work plays with the attribution of danger, body, sexuality, and social transgression, and asks the question:

Fetish or Fascist?
Who is actually the most dangerous man in Germany here? The one who experiences fantasies in community in consent spaces - or someone who questions democracy and human dignity.

The work is understood as a parody or pastiche in the sense of § 51a UrhG.
