In this collection, I explore the fragile boundary between visibility and erasure — between what is seen and what is made to disappear. Entartete Kunst was born from the desire to reclaim a space once defined by condemnation, to transform what is branded as “degenerate” into a living discourse on freedom, perception, and power.

 

For me, art has always existed in tension with authority — moral, political, or technological. I was drawn to the idea that what is forbidden often holds the greatest potential for truth. By fragmenting and pixelating images rooted in a history of censorship, I sought to strip them of spectacle and return them to silence, to ambiguity. Each work becomes a negotiation between exposure and concealment, allowing the viewer to complete the image through imagination rather than instruction.

 

Abstraction, in this sense, is not escape — it is resistance. The mosaic form protects what is delicate, distorts what is dangerous, and questions what is known.

 

The decision to erase every trace of a work once it leaves my hands is not an act of disappearance but of release. It is about trust — a relinquishing of control that mirrors the project’s wider inquiry into ownership, authorship, and memory. When a collector chooses to reveal, withhold, or destroy a piece, they enter the artwork’s inner life; they become its custodian and, perhaps, its conscience.

 

This collection is not a static body of work but a process — a slow unfolding that mirrors the rhythm of thought and rediscovery.
 

Entartete Kunst is, at its core, a meditation on the act of looking — and on the quiet courage it takes to see beyond what history, power, or technology allow us to see.
