In the aftermath of the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, the artist decided to get rid of the strong ideologies of the 20th c. that had defined the world to such disastrous results of war and human tragedy. He also made drawing to symbolically liberate himself from theory and start all over again, as well as to “bury” in this way books by (on the photograph, from left to right) Nietzsche, Derrida, Foucault, Baudrillard, Lenin, Freud, and Marx.

Drawings available (on the photograph, from left to right): Nietzsche, Foucault, Baudrillard, Lenin, and Freud.
