About this work

This image is a messy collage of cut-out photos, text, and drawings. A woman in a mask holds a gun. A dog sits on a couch next to a TV. There’s a hand holding a giant ear, and words in German like *"Künstler kämpfen"* (artists fight). Some pages show ads, a spiral doodle, and a man pointing at a crowd. The artist glued together old magazines, photos, and sketches to make this piece. It feels chaotic but intentional—like a puzzle with no clear rules. Want to see how this artist made his work?
