The notion of "Entartete Kunst" represents more than just an art historical event; it stands as a symbol of systemic oppression, censorship, and the manipulation of public perception that persist to this day. The project reclaims that space, taking what is condemned and reinterpreting it. Through deconstruction and abstraction, the raw material is fragmented and reshaped, stripping away overt explicitness to create space for contemplation. The process distances the viewer from voyeurism and opens a dialogue with speculation, inviting a closer reflection on the power structures that continue to shape how art, beauty, and morality are defined.
Graphic material is transformed into mosaics, with pixelation serving as both an aesthetic device and a conceptual shield. Rather than confronting the viewer directly, these works encourage personal interpretation, allowing each observer to complete the narrative through curiosity and imagination. Each piece becomes a bridge between the discomfort of its origins and the potential for discovery — an invitation to reconsider inherited perceptions. The collection not only pays homage to the spirit of artistic expression but also stands as a reminder of art’s enduring role in shaping cultural memory.
The project unfolds over time, with ten thousand unique works released in sequence to allow the dialogue to grow organically. Rather than delivering the collection all at once, the progressive release creates space for reflection, encouraging an evolving conversation. The direction of this exchange remains open, guided by an ongoing exploration rather than predetermined answers.
The acquisition of an NFT presents the opportunity to obtain the AP, presented as a photograph. Each work in this collection is selected, reframed, and transformed by the artist himself and is known only to him. On its reverse side will be a copy of the NFT image, marked with its number and the artist’s signature.
This transaction goes beyond mere ownership; it offers the collector a unique and intimate glimpse into the artist’s creative psyche. Their decision to display, hide, or even destroy the piece becomes part of its living story. They inherit not just an image, but a legacy — an active role in the ongoing evolution of the project, becoming guardians of a visual secret.
The artist will renounce any records, data, or evidence the moment the AP is sold, making the collector the sole possessor of the unveiled image.
The notorious 1937 Munich exhibition titled "Degenerate Art" exemplifies the Nazi regime’s draconian measures. This exhibition showcased modernist works, haphazardly displayed amidst derisive graffiti and pejorative labels designed to ridicule both the art and the artists. It was a calculated effort to galvanise public animosity towards modernism. The exhibition’s journey through various German and Austrian cities served as a grim reminder of the power of propaganda in shaping public perception and the perilous intersection of art and authoritarianism.
Children see the world with fresh, untainted eyes. “Magic Squares”, part of the global “Save me.” project — which has been running since 2013 — draws directly from the conceptual foundations of “Entartete Kunst” and the visual language inspired by Paul Klee. Through this, children are given the opportunity to work creatively, making their own mosaics from scratch while exploring abstraction and composition.
