“Easter Contribution” weaves together historical layers. An antique print by Brockhaus from 1898 serves as the canvas, adorned with calligraphy by Mao Zedong. This fusion of cultures and eras invites contemplation. The small wooden panel bears Dürer’s monogram and the significant year 1506, creating a captivating dialogue across time.

Mao’s slogan as a meta-level reads in Chinese: 认真 作好 出版 工作 (Do the publishing work seriously).

What looks like a random selection could be understood as an invitation to today’s opinion leaders and media who have brought about a Mao revival with large-scale campaigns in recent years and thus started a kind of revival. And they, with just as much publication work, initiated a new campaign that builds up the West as an enemy.
The work is part of the series "The China Takeover".

Ready to hang! Matted and with a frame with lead-free tempered shatter-resistant glass that gives a clear view of the artwork. The glass has been tested to withstand breakage and damage.

[Please note that the original is not very large, and the situational images are just examples of how prints of the work could be effectively displayed.]
