This is the shocking realization, that nothing has changed for thousands of years. Despite all technological and scientific achievements, at the end of the day, everything has took a turn for the worst. All the alleged knowledge, all the formulas, the rules, the norms, all religions, all systems, all those clever words, to this day have only served to keep humanity in its voluntary enslavement and to nurture the stultification of people‘s minds.

No sacrifice on the cross for all sins, no revolution, no politics, not any science, not a single so-called clever mind, may it be Socrates, Einstein, Jesus, Buddha, Gandhi, Luther, the pope, a boss, a teacher, a philosopher, or anyone else, has managed to lead humanity to any insight.

All those wonderful words of forgiveness, of altruism, sharing, giving, children, earth, life – everything just lies, everything just self-deceit, commandments, God, devil, hell, paradise, war, poverty, misery, nothing, nothing, nothing whatsoever has ever changed anything in the passages of the brain‘s of the mentally ill. Today they wouldn‘t even hesitate a moment, to burn, to gas, to torture, to defame, to betray.

It‘s the same hypocrisy, the same double morality, the same stupid infantry. These are the same assassins, the same heretics, the same institutions as 2,000 years ago. It‘s the same principle, not some ruler‘s race, not some conspiracy theory, no dictators, politicians or whoever it may be: It is man himself, only the people, only they.

Think Black by DENKSTAHL

unique piece, fine art print, 170×125 cm

No freedom, no peace, no love, no celebration, no party, no warmth, no seeing, no hearing, no speaking, and everyone is right and everyone else is wrong. The sword, the cripple, the pressure, the must, the constraint, the moral, the prisons, the gags, the chains, the schools, the teachers, the abuse, everyone, yes everyone still participates, and everyone is stupid, lazy, idle, devious, bitter, dogmatic; lying, cheating, stealing, killing, murdering, raiding, raping. The human-being is sick, insane, confused, lonely, alone, full of greed, hate, rage, anger, envy, jealousy, oriented towards power, fame, more, more and so much more … Regardless of the consequences whatsoever, never minding how high the price is.

And no physician, no healer, no leader, no father, no mother, no friend, no pity, no explanation, no pill, no diet, no cosmetics, no catastrophy, no millions of dead have changed anything. Everything stays the same. No contract, no word, for nothing man has given, has he ever kept his word.

For our children a wonderful life, the future, all will be good, faith, prayer, thou shalt not kill, thou shalt not lie, thou shalt not bear false witness, thou shalt not commit adultery, respect, humbleness, gratefulness, deference, honour, pride, purity, aesthetic, nourish and cherish, family, the people, all just empty, soulless, dead words.

No history, not the Greek, not the Roman, not the Cesarians, no emperor, no kind, no Napoleon, no Hitler, no Stalin, no Merkel, no Kant, no Mother Theresa, not any such evil and not any such holy, nothing and nobody. People are people, who until today couldn‘t rise above their miserable, selfish, petty worldview.

Think Orange by DENKSTAHL

unique piece, fine art print, 170×125 cm

Everything man does is focussed on destruction and exploitation, and it is not the others, it is you yourself. If overindulged, if overbred, if stupid or sick, it is you yourself, you yourself it is. Every bad thought, every bad word, every bad vibe, every bad way, every accident, every mishap, every misery, it is you yourself.

People want, can, may, shall, must not hear, see, smell, taste, touch or feel ever the truth. They are scared, they are cowards, they are hiding, they defame, they don‘t stand straight, don‘t take responsibility, they don‘t know how to behave, they are not independant, they have no determination. They oversleep, come too late, are untidy, poison themselves and their environment, break their word, lie to their children, their wife, their husband, and to themselves.

They are still small, they are still a clerk, still a civilian, still in a club, still have a nationality, still set boundaries, differentiate, destroy assesses, grades, judges, are presumptious, making the world subservient. Yes, man is still small, he is not great, no, he is still very small, smaller than ever. Damn it, it is you yourself, you have been told for thousands of years, damn it, it is you yourself. Damn it, it is me, myself.

Humanity or the art of being human

We all have an idea of humanity and, consciously or not, evaluate and categorize behavior as being  »human« or »inhuman«. But what exactly does it mean to be human? What is humankind or humanity? Philosophical approaches define »human« in the sense of being »ethically...

A day without a smile is a lost day – so what!?

DENKSTAHL’s work So What (orig. Na und) combines comedy, rebellion and tragedy in a cynical way. It is somewhat a tragic comedy; I dare say that this is an analogy to life. »It doesn't matter«, »so what«, »nevermind«, »it is not important« – many arguments have...
