5 tones of garbage
2017

About 5 tons of garbage are the starting point for a landscape that evokes associations of a sea with an iceberg. Since the beginning of his artistic work, Bayer has been concerned with civilizational challenges and situations of upheaval in relation to economic, cultural and global contexts. Environmental awareness, climate change, sustainable use of resources - in short: the influence of man on nature. While in the 1960s capitalism was celebrated in art in the Western world, for example by Andy Warhol, in the exhibition at the Kunsthalle Harry Graf Kessler Bayer poses questions about ecological awareness and the handling of finite resources, thus questioning this heritage.
