Description

"Sabotage" is a playful remix of Leonardo da Vinci's famous drawing "Vitruvian Man". However, the huge cogwheel – in the spirit of Charlie Chaplin's "Modern Times" – clearly reveals, that not only ideal body proportions but also ideal working conditions are being addressed. The confident figures blend into each other as equals, and present their tools of protest, such as a "sabot". That's a traditional wooden shoe, of which the term "sabotage" derives. (According to legend, rebellious French workers at times of the industrial revolution threw their clogs into mowing and threshing machines, in order to jam these.). 3 colour silkscreen print. 300 g/m² cardboard creme. Limited edition of 53. 50 cm x 50 cm. Handpulled, signed and numbered. Berlin 2016.
