Eat The System - Truhe Liebe
2020

A dance, love, affection, tenderness or what will get us through the pandemic?
My partner is a known and beloved box, who lives together with me every day in solidarity. Fresh, cold, white. You bring me refreshment. Save me the daily walk to the mall. And all you need is electricity. The song Enya - Only Time, 8 degrees. A feeling, loneliness, where does the road go? Melancholy, hope, intimacy. We're being watched. You're watching me. What am I shopping?
"Wir lieben Lebensmittel". Box status symbol. Movement - phlegmatic.
Food fetish. Superfood, smoothies, fair, organic, plastic outside. And inside? Glyphosate, exploitation, hunger. Vegetable growing without crude oil at Solidarity Agriculture and kebabs during my lunch break. For me, for my health or my conscience? For the bees, against child labour. For the world, as a good example or change of structure? No bucks, JA-products.
