Men at Work III – Juan Petry – 2023
Fatherland and mother tongue are reminiscent of an old time when assigning a gender should serve as a guide. The confusion of language creates the condition for the confusion of man, whatever gender he may adopt for himself. Modern work rhythm, the so-called equal opportunities, equal rights, emancipation, so many movements have passed. And Western feudal societies, dressed in sham democracies, celebrate victory over nature. After the alienation from nature, the holistic alienation from ones own ego is praised. What do I care about my body. The advertisement promises that I will become immortal when I upload it to the cloud. There are offspring with CTRL and C and CTRL and V. If you dont like it, try DEL. The market of fear becomes limitless. The Darwinian eugenicist will surely be pleased.
The intimate knowledge of using ones mother tongue is disappearing. The moralizing politics scatters the new narratives and yet only makes itself the henchman of those who praise their superiority far from the rabble. And it becomes true as a self-fulfilling prophecy when man and woman lose themselves in the digital and fall apart in the process. The younger generation comes from educationally disadvantaged backgrounds. The elite needs organs and also personnel for the cannons. Some of the young people orient themselves to the clan. The clan will survive, and with it the knowledge of love.
The time has come for man and woman.
