About the artwork

At the centre is the dynamic figure of a woman, whose movement is emphasised by a double exposure or a deliberate soft-focus effect. This blurring and out-of-focus effect creates a feeling of speed, fleetingness and hecticness. The outstretched arms and the slight swing of the figure convey the emotional impression that it is either fleeing from something or rushing into an exciting, uncontrollable situation. An emotion of restlessness and urgency is created. The entire scene is massively dominated by typography: A dense carpet of meaningless text (again in German, serving as a placeholder) lies like a net over the entire composition. This textual preponderance conveys a feeling of information overload and visual noise, typical of the urban environment. This superimposition can trigger a feeling of anxiety or disorientation in the viewer, as if one's own thoughts are being smothered by external stimuli. The background of tattered posters and the dark silhouette of the number 30 tie the image to the raw, unadorned aesthetic of the street. Emotions such as confusion, adrenaline and a latent agitation are intensified by the visual density and movement. The image is a stirring statement about life in a constant rush, where the human figure itself threatens to disappear in a sea of meaningless information.
