About "Imprisonment of one's own ME"

About the artwork

This motif was created over 25 years ago, when computers were nowhere near as powerful as they are today. I had myself photographed naked in a photo studio. I then had myself cropped and placed in a virtual 3D prison. The basic data took several weeks to compute back then.

That's what the artist sees in the motif:
The motif of my own imprisonment expresses all my despair and my inability to grasp and understand my life.

In a dungeon built from airy stone blocks, I come to the realisation that I am the pawn of an outdated system.
system. Not really free in my decisions, I remain in a thicket of all kinds of dogmas and parities that only inadequately describe or satisfy my own values.

I am part of a social system that is no longer able to provide me with a real sense of purpose and a higher goal. However, meaning and purpose are an indispensable part of a healthy basis for any form of society.
Will an outcry or a violent outburst make a difference?

This pictorial work is the second generation of the original work. The chain links are now modelled on a horizontal figure eight. Infinitely enduring realisations have been consolidated. However, the masonry remains "airy-fairy".

I seem to associate variable as well as irrefutable wisdom with this motif. The light situation has become much colder - and yet hope remains! (At least I hope so.)

My life is also only an
