Performance for Peace Brussels, Manneken Pis, August 16, 2023:
One of the landmarks of the Belgian capital and the "political capital" of the European Union is a naked boy who pisses at the viewer in a crude, funny way and is thus intended to symbolize freedom of expression, a spirit of resistance and democratic values. There are over 950 costumes for the Manneken, which are used to dress up for birthdays of idols like Elvis and Mozart, when matches of the Belgian national team take place and special occasions like World AIDS Day. The tailor has probably not yet been commissioned with an orange jumpsuit to alert people of indifferent, corrupt politicians and cowardly journalists of the mainstream media to Assange's slow-motion killing.

Performance for Peace Brussels, Grote Markt, August 16, 2023:

The biggest tourist attraction of the Belgian capital is the central square "Grote Markt", surrounded by magnificent guild houses. In order to represent urban self-confidence, independence and economic power through their economic success, the traders and craftsmen built an imposing town hall directly opposite the ducal "Maison du Roi". In addition to the marketplace, the square was also the site of political meetings, court processes, festivals and executions. The critical thinkers are positioned right in the middle, facing the City Hall, saying "We are the people, we are the power."

Performance for Peace, EU Parliament Brussels, August 17, 2023:
A kind of glass bridge extends in a semicircle over the square in front of the main entrance, which is equipped with banners that show where they want to take EU citizens by 2050. In the center of this timeline is a european-blue banner with the words "Democracy in Action": Masked faces symbolize solutions for future health crises, children with smartphones more security on the Internet, the Ukraine flag the independence of Putin's gas, shaking hands with Selenskyj support for Ukraine, crowded trains fair salaries, a womens face equality in jobs, police cars the power expansion of Europol and last but not least wind turbines the climate neutrality. How can this be taken serious if the imprisonment of Assange and the warnings of Holocaust survivor Vera Sharav in her documentary "Never Again Is Now Global" are ignored?

Performance for Peace, EU Parliament, Leopold Park, Brussels, August 17, 2023:

The largest parliamentary visitor center in Europe is located in the building complex of the EU Parliament, which borders the Leopold Park. Just outside its main entrance, the portraits lean against the fence surrounding a sculptural flock of ostriches with their heads in the sand. It remains open whether this tactic, in the event of imminent danger, alludes to the behavior of EU citizens or the reaction of parliamentarians. In any case, a nice opportunity to encircle the representation of fear with courageous heads and to offer solutions: Courage to think critically and self-determined actions for peace and freedom.
