artist´s statement

(~)

fictive shock artist eugen j isotamm is aesthetic and cruel. minesweeper of masculine abusrd: conceptual, non-attractive, narrow-minded.
facts, research, socio-environmental science, right to speak politics - none of these or their bastard children belong to eugen's recognition. his goals are much wider.
an analysing nature stands behind the white camel, the mini-errors of the society are viewed in a way nobody catches wind of.
his bitter laughter wants not to hurt anyone - eugen looks inside of himself and gasconades in front of the mirror, wanting to fall into one with art, apostlenegativity and foremost, non-existence that holds everything. be it longlasting life, constant value judgements or priorities that are worth nothing.

it is not my intention to hide my true self behind eugen. eugen is not solid enough a creature to shield anything.
the truth is that I am an artist. I like to create and perform. I don't know if I'm good at it, but I know I'm not very good at other things.
art is no different from any other area of activity that people are involved in. the human goal is recognition. achievement.
because it wasn't born from economy, art is always poor and begging.
eugen j is a vagabond in desolate lands, riding for hope.
