Explore, Preserve, Enjoy

The still from the video work ›warten (Peace!)‹ shows a group of asylum seekers during the long-term Performance 'waiting'. The young man depicted is probably not wearing his shirt with the advertising slogan of an outdoor outfitter as a deliberate text contribution, and his heartfelt gesture is not actually directed at us either. But thanks to the poster format, it looks as if he is advertising himself and his peers with a self-confident and disarmingly self-deprecating image campaign: 'Explore, preserve, enjoy' !
