Cracking fractals, by Allochiria
For the norms you can't let go of
That held you captive
For taboos you are afraid of
But always wanted
For reflections in the mirror
You never changed and
For that fucking step you didn't
Risk to take and
For secrets you kept
For the life you led
For mistakes you made
For people that prevailed
Opinions you always scream
Defeated modesty
The weak you 'never' see
Mocking memory
Are you really proud?
With all the choices you make
And the chaos you so much adore
And all of your always-winning thoughts
I can't see feelings in your hands anymore
For all the neutral actions that fall to same patterns
For life depending on every made-up task
For joy on tears shed to boost a caring image
Detestable
Lie now
Go on

The 1000 Gestalten protest at the G20 summit
Excerpt from 1000 GESTALTEN at G20-summit: get rid of your shells!
The crusted shapes shall represent a society that has lost their believe in solidarity and in which everyone fights for their own progress only. In the course of the performance they dropped off their grey costumes where underneath their colorful t-shirts appeared. In this way they symbolically freed themselves from their petrified structures. [...]
Our campaign is a further symbol for the fact that many people do not want to put up with the destructive impact of capitalism any longer. What will save us in the end is not our account balance but someone who will offer their holding hand.

Capitalism kills: protest against the G20 summit
Excerpt from Hamburg City Strike- Call
Day by day, we become witnesses of a policy that is publicly expressed at the G20 summit in July. Our life is characterized by a growing precariousness, which has long since expanded beyond our working lives. Social welfare is decimated bit by bit, public space is increasingly privatized, and austerity policy propagates the lack of alternatives to these and other measures. In order to keep the wheel of capitalism running, and to draw profits despite the growing crises, our social living conditions are increasingly becoming the goal of exploitation.
As the promises of growth and prosperity cannot be fulfilled any more even in the Metropolises, which causes modification of the state and society’s regulation framework, right-wing populism, militant nationalism and authoritarian paradigms are thriving in Europe, the US and Asia. Economic-political protectionism as well as the eviction of migrants including the construction of border fences are called for. Internally, anything not fitting the norm, anything queer or just non-conformist is under suspicion.
