'Coat Of Arms'
The city coat of arms of 'Bautzen/Бауцен' with its heraldic coloring blue/yellow and its iconic town wall with additional 'Україна/Ukraine' lettering.
Shortly after Russias invasion into Ukraine some right wing citizens of Bautzen destroyed and removed blue/yellow flags in the city. BUT the coat of arms colors of Bautzen and Upper Lusatia are blue and yellow.

'And now I wanna be your God'
I took the lyrics of 'I wanna be your dog' by Iggy Pop and changed 'Dog' to 'God'.
Further I added the word 'granite' to 'sand' to complete the line to: "And Lose My Heart On The Granite Sand".
Granite is an intrusive rock - the main geologic material in Upper Lusatia and the material of the mountain Czorneboh.

'Brat Moj'
Digital Collage, 2021
The former mayor of Bautzen had a realistic sculpture (by artist Sandro Porcu) - depicting himself as alcoholic in its office. The narcissistic sculpture was featured in an interview with him at the daily newspaper. I took the image and added the lyrics of 'Brat Moj' by slovenian band Laibach.
Translation:
My Brother My brother Do you feel the courage That's been awakened by the dawn In the fight for the beauty of the world? My brother Let's be strong like toilers Let's light a bonfire in all people! My brother We are the forgers of faith in the resurrection We are the wild laughter of life! There's a hunger in us that invigorates And that doesn't torment the hungry My brother Open your eyes Travel with us To the new light!
'Oh Czorneboh, du schwarzer Gott'
This is a mass demonstration/worship paying servile obeisance to the Black God.

'Achtung'
Digital Collage, 2021
Meine erste bildliche Äußerung zu den Plänen das Bismarck-Denkmal auf dem Czorneboh wieder zu errichten. Mit einer eindeutigen Handlungempfehlung falls es zum Wiederaufbau kommen würde.
Vorgeschichte:
Als sich das Sorbische Institut in Bautzen in die öffentliche Debatte mit einbrachte begann ich tiefer in das Thema einzusteigen und stellte fest dass noch niemand eine Interpräsenz für das Thema bzw. das geplante Denkmal registriert hatte. Umgehend reservierte ich, am Nachmittag des 16. Oktober 2021, die Domain 'bismarck-czorneboh.de' um damit den Initatoren zuvor zu kommen. Da ich so schnell keine dazugehörige Webseite erstellen konnte bzw. wollte leitete ich kurzerhand auf die Internet des Sorbischen Institutes weiter. Nach wenigen Stunden - noch am selben Abend wurde ich von Sorbischen Institut gebeten die Weiterleitung aufzuheben. Das war der Startschuss selbst aktiv zu werden und kreierte innerhalb kürzester Zeit die oben stehende Grafik. Davon ausgehend schuf ich weitere Collagen die ich im Abstand von wenigen Tagen veröffentlichte um mich künstlerisch in der Debatte zu positionieren.
My first visual statement about the plans to rebuild the Bismarck monument on the Czorneboh. With a clear recommendation for action if reconstruction were to occur.
Record:
When the Sorbian Institute in Bautzen became involved in the public debate, I began to delve deeper into the topic and discovered that no one had yet registered an interpresence for the topic or the planned monument. I immediately reserved the domain 'bismarck-czorneboh.de' on the afternoon of October 16, 2021 in order to get ahead of the initiators. Since I couldn't or didn't want to create a corresponding website so quickly, I simply redirected to the Sorbian Institute's website. After a few hours - that same evening, I was asked by the Sorbian Institute to stop forwarding. That was the starting signal to take action and within a very short time I created the graphic above. Based on this, I created further collages which I published every few days in order to position myself artistically in the debate.

Den borde vi ha sett @taragustafsson ••• Regram from @metastazis_paris ••• I designed this poster and will be in Grenoble for the fantastic event @nskrendezvousgrenoble from October 11th to 14th. I will be opening my solo show called "LIBERATION DAYS" as well as presenting my new book (bearing the same name) the night of 12th. The show and the book are a heavy compilation of archives and documents, both textual and visual, about the @laibachofficial show in North Korea in 2015. More details soon. #nsk #laibach #nskstate #nskrendezvous #neueslovenischekunst #nskfolkart #grenoble #slovenia #poster #terror #grenades #northkorea #pyongyang #dprk #juche #kimjongun #liberationday #metastazis #illustration #graphicdesign https://www.instagram.com/p/BoTFgWLlxG00YduATiIj5IUbXrtKRnMDdtamFg0/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ifknel7o7lfu
