OCCUPY BRAINS, 2016

Text collage, mixed media (paper, grogram, gouache, glue)
60 x 42cm

The lettering is composed of twelve different company logo letters taken from a range of the
fifty most influential worldwide companies.

The idea is inspired by the fact that the power of large international banks and major corporations and the role of Wallstreet led to an economic collapse, which has caused the biggest recession for generations.

Although the protest of the Occupy movement has fallen silent and other forms of activist resistance have superseded, I believe that a rethink is still one of the most important factors to subdue a predatory capitalism. As long as there is no change in the minds of the causers of unbridled greed, as long will uncivilized capitalism be promoted. The ideology of neoliberalism therefore needs to be challenged critically.
