Art projects wealth

  • "Hotel Marfino" in Moscow (2005) and "Haus Schöneweide" in Berlin (2008)

The wealth projects pursue the goal of bringing the topics of “ wealth ” and “ poverty ” into close contact with one another, apart from the purely material-consumption-oriented context. It's an artistic vision. In both wealth projects, houses in which permanently homeless, addicts are housed, were beautified under artistic aspects in such a way that they express prosperity and aesthetics. Most of the projects were financed with donations. About 130,000 euros were spent on the Berlin art project “Reichtum 2”. The implementation generated both public praise and heated discussions. B. on the topic of the use of financial resources.
