title
NEED&GREED
Limited is the need,
Unlimited is the greed,
Engaged in misdeed,
I ignore your bleed.
Two pieces of cloth and a piece of bread,
can keep me alive, I'll not be dead,
Schelter of a roof not touching the sky,
I can walk with feet do not need to fly.
I choosed for this purpose the gestic of the hands: hands which grasps, want to reach sthng and at the same time ask for help.
The title of the other work which I am entering is "Captive Angel" (Gefangener Engel), an angel caught in himself. It is the representation of 2 polarities, yin und yang,the positive and the negative.
P.S.: Due to the original format of the photo (150x65,44cm), it is not possible for me to match with the required minimum width. I hope that this work can still be considered.

entry description
"NEED&GREED" is a series of photos dated 2017. They belong to a Fotoinstallation which is presented with 2 mirrors. I wanted to reach an interaction with the audience, a self-inquiry and reflection, because "need" and "greed" are nowadays something which concern all of us. A questioning of our egos. There is a poem by Akhtar Jawad which I read and I liked very much. Here an extract:Limited is the need,
Unlimited is the greed,
Engaged in misdeed,
I ignore your bleed.
Two pieces of cloth and a piece of bread,
can keep me alive, I'll not be dead,
Schelter of a roof not touching the sky,
