TREUEANZUG is a visual assemblage worn like a manifesto: drawings, supermarket slogans from Berlin, surveillance imagery, and iconic references merge into a visual body that oscillates between intimacy and public legibility. The work arises from a dual impulse — an homage to formative artistic influences and a critical reflection on the neoliberal myth of the 21st-century artist: visible, commodifiable, permanently accessible. TREUEANZUG is not a second skin, but a porous texture woven from memory, resistance, and questions about how artistic practice can resonate today — not as a gesture of representation, but as a movement from the inside out: vulnerable, contradictory, and necessary.
