Observations at monuments of freedom
Freedom, one might say with Derrida, is an empty signifier. It can be filled with different meanings and is probably only available in á venir. In this context, monuments in public spaces are historically or ideally related to the concept of freedom. In drawing these monuments, observations were made regarding the surroundings and visitors. A reference to the concept of freedom is also established through interaction with them. These observations are processed in three short comics.
Marx-Engels Monument, Berlin
People from all over the world visit the Marx-Engels Monument and make the same gesture of freedom over and over again.
Statue of Roland, Bremen
The Bremen Roland symbolizes civil liberty. The square where he stands full of fascinated children when a street artist created soap bubbles.
