Original artwork description:

64x84 cm | Filler, oak frame

I placed an amount of filler in the middle of a panel on the floor and then tried to distribute the volume as evenly as possible over the surface, using only my feet, wearing clogs. The work's visual expression is a result of my efforts.

Allocation of resources is perhaps the most crucial area of ​​policy. It is also the field where the current ideologies differ most clearly. Material resources are always the result of work. But even if all people actually make the same amount of effort, relatively speaking, the resources are not distributed equally. Hence the argument for redistribution. But resources asymmetrical distribution is already the result of an ideological principle - the right of the strong. Problems arise when, as in today's different variants of social liberalism, one subsequently tries to compensate for an unequal system from above through centralized state power. Its own weight will always affect the result, in one direction or another. If, instead, we set up society according to the principle of equal value for all from the beginning, redistribution would not be necessary - resources would already be shared equally.
