Development aid, i.e., retro-racism, is the heroin of postcolonialism, detail from the painting "Media Democracy - Rendezvous of Truth" by Sebastian Bieniek.
In the detail from Sebastian Bieniek's painting "Media Democracy - Rendezvous of Truth," a woman with a severed hand is depicted. The woman is intentionally not portrayed with a specific skin color, as the artist wishes to avoid retroracism, namely the association of exploitation with a particular skin color. Exploitation knows no skin color, only social classes and castes. There are exploiters of every skin color, just as there are exploited of every skin color. Therefore, associating the class of the exploited with a specific skin color, just like any skin color quotas, is a form of tacit acceptance of racism, which Bieniek calls retroracism.
The principle of racism through reverse racism, in the form of forced liberation—that is, liberation through labels that is in reality subjugation—is also what the artist sees in development... www.BIENIEK.at

Discourse or media cannibalism, due to in the beginning there was looking away, detail from the painting "Media Democracy - Rendezvous of Truth" by Sebastian Bieniek.
While the Tree of Knowledge, which according to Bieniek essentially prevents all knowledge and which, for Bieniek, represents the media, is about to feed a woman with her own blood, she turns away and looks at a cursor (mouse pointer), the focus banner of digitalism. Whether it distracts her or whether she deliberately looks away (to avoid seeing) is hard to say; perhaps both, perhaps depending on whom you ask and whose perspective you adopt. Why do people look away, one would have to ask at this point. Which of the two came first is as easy or difficult to say as "whether the chicken or the egg came first." Whether looking away or distraction was the beginning is thus a question in itself. In any case, it seems as if both belong together like two sides of the same coin. Without the cursor, there is no distraction, and... More www.bieniek.at/md
