The Dane Tue Greenfort is "eco-artist" - but with Gutmenschen-Biederkeit he has absolutely nothing to do. He photographed angekokelten fish heads in garbage bags, ergötzt to incinerators - and gets cancer killer jellyfish into the art gallery. Welcome to the purgatory of consumer culture.
Brunswick - Allegedly, the waste mountains in Naples disappeared - at least recently announced proud Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi. But one knows it better: The Danish artist Tue Greenfort, born in 1973. He was just there. The centre of the metropolis might be clean, but further five kilometers has so far nothing changed, says Green progress.
In a suburb of Naples, therefore, he shot photos of a garbage mountain gammelnden: fish heads protrude from angekokelten garbage bags out, a mountain of clams is like drapes, and above all sits a porn DVD. Good food, nice body, lust and pornography: Greenfort embodies this rubbish dump south of Italy. And what about the Mafia? As he quotes the Italians: "The Mafia does not exist, which is everywhere."
Under the title "Linear Deflection" shows currently Greenfort his first solo exhibition in Germany in Braunschweiger Kunstverein. What with the waste from Naples finally happened, can be mounted on a series of other photo Berlin-based artist. Over 30,000 tons of waste from Naples to the north have been transported Bremerhaven and burned. Greenfort the fire was allowed to photograph.
The images look like Dante's Inferno: blazing yellow flames and embers hellish, a purgatory of consumer culture. Betörend beautiful and frightening at the same time. And typical Tue Greenfort. His art deals with so zivilisationskritischen issues such as pollution, extinction, climate change and depletion of resources.
But Green does not progress with raised index finger around. Doktrinäre propaganda art is for alternative Gutmenschen him away. What he shows are often superficially beautiful installations, videos, photographs or drawings, whose enigmatic, rather than polemical poignant messages often only at second glance understands.
Green progress makes the viewer offers, which he assumed overlooked or ausschlagen. He explains subtly on the state of the Earth by environmental and economic issues as intelligent as wink packed.
Aquarium with ctenophore and artificial flow
Equal in the entrance hall of the art association stands on a plinth with an aquarium artificial flow. Here into Fort Green has a few ctenophore, which his assistants fresh from the Kiel Bay fished. Actually, a beautiful picture: The almost transparent Schwabbelwesen can be elegant in the current drive. In accompanying the visitor explained: ctenophore were originally in North and South America at home and are equipped with container ships to Europe was introduced.
Five years ago, the animals suddenly appeared in the Kiel Bay, where they multiply and extremely since sprat and herring wegfressen small crabs. Now the pest in Fort Green aquarium for gradually rising water temperatures continue to reproduce, illuminated by incandescent lamps, the marine animals an iridescent sheen. A kind of intensive care unit for parasites.
Greenfort presented at the exhibition Braunschweiger other absurd scenarios: In a white frame, the artist discoloured Ph-test strips, which he acid rain. They look like colorful cheerful air snakes from the carnival. At another point he coated the slag from the incinerator on the grid a commercially euro range.
