This drawing shows two tall, pale figures standing side by side. They’re drawn in a simple, sketchy style, with smooth lines and no details like hair or faces. Behind them is a wall of typed German and English words, like a poem or instructions—some crossed out, others repeated. The words mix daily routines ("now wash your hands") with heavy themes like death and time. The figures’ blank faces and the messy text make it feel both ordinary and unsettling. If you like this, look up Arthur Köpcke for more of his work.
